Gordon Williams

Gordon Williams is the driving force behind Espruino, a unique and impactful open-source project. Espruino allows users to program microcontrollers using JavaScript, offering a level of accessibility and real-time code modification rarely found in embedded systems development. Since launching his Patreon in March 2017, Gordon has cultivated a community of over 82 members, with 52 actively supporting his work through paid memberships. This support has generated an estimated $370 monthly income, demonstrating the value of his contribution to the maker and embedded systems communities. The ability to directly modify code on a running microcontroller significantly distinguishes Espruino from many alternative platforms, making it a powerful tool for rapid prototyping and experimentation. Gordon’s ongoing development and commitment to the Espruino open-source project is a testament to his dedication to fostering innovation in this niche area of technology.
