Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolElias Wilken is a founder and software engineering generalist based in Berlin with 10 years of experience building cloud, edge and IoT systems. He designed and shipped a native Apple-focused Kubernetes IDE used by Fortune 500 customers, blending SwiftUI front-ends with Rust and Go for high-parallelism cross-platform tooling. His work spans backend and infrastructure — from on-prem and multi-cloud Kubernetes deployments to OTA device fleets, asymmetric M2M identity, and moving workloads to the edge. Elias was an early implementer of Apple HomeKit in Rust and later built a notable Kubernetes client in SwiftUI, reflecting a pattern of bringing distributed systems to new platforms. He combines hands-on engineering with early-stage team building and a taste for unconventional tech stacks (async Rust + Swift concurrency + Go runtime) to solve hard interoperability and cross-compilation problems. Practical, product-minded, and curious, he focuses on excellent UX for complex cloud-native workflows.
