Berlin, Germany
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolEd Rooth is a veteran software engineer and founder with over 15 years of professional experience and a 20+ year engineering background, now leading Chromatose and independent studio Hekuli from Berlin. He blends deep systems and cloud engineering leadership (roles at CoreOS and Red Hat) with hands-on creative engineering—specializing in real-time interactive computer graphics, iOS/macOS apps and shader work using Swift, SwiftUI, Metal/MSL and GLSL. His career spans front-end SaaS and large-scale cloud control panels to distributed systems, giving him a rare mix of product-facing UX sense and low-level graphics/compute expertise. Not actively pursuing full-time roles, he consults on generative art, graphics pipelines and performance-critical mobile graphics, and has shipped consumer apps such as Chromatose and Breathwork Timer. A background in Japanese language study and international experience hints at a cross-cultural, product-minded approach to engineering and design.
