Kilian Koeltzsch is a Senior Software Engineer based in Dresden with 13 years of experience building iOS clients and backend systems, currently developing robotics software at Wandelbots. He blends deep Swift expertise—contributing to the Swift Package Manager’s PubGrub resolver and adding Swift frameworks to the widely referenced web-frameworks benchmark—with product-focused mobile development at companies like Beeper and HaCon. Comfortable across client and server boundaries, he’s shipped dependency resolution logic, CLI tooling, and example servers for Vapor, Perfect, and Kitura. His work shows a mix of rigorous engineering (strong testing and API design) and practical integration skills that bridge research-grade tooling and production apps. Outside of core product work he stays engaged with public transport and instant messaging domains and experiments with robots, reflecting a pragmatic curiosity that drives cross-disciplinary solutions.
