Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTobias Wilken is a pragmatic CTO with 12+ years building and running cloud-native, highly automated platforms—from founding cloudControl’s PaaS that orchestrated hundreds of thousands of containers to delivering self-service relocation and contract-management products. He combines hands-on engineering across many languages (C/C++, Java, Python, Node, PHP, Perl, Apex) with lean team leadership, often driving major product capabilities with very small teams. Tobias excels at rapid prototyping to validate hypotheses and then evolving those proofs into stable, scalable production systems with strong DevOps and CD practices. His background in robotics and game-bot back-end work reflects a taste for complex systems and algorithmic thinking that surfaces in production optimizations. Based in Lower Saxony, Germany, he balances technical stewardship with operational ownership and a habit of automating repetitive work—the philosophy summed up on his GitHub: first time is fun, second time shows the pattern, third time automate it.
