Hi there

I'm Thorsten, a tech enthusiast and software engineer living in Saarland, Germany's smallest yet most beautiful state. My passion lies in server-side WebAssembly, containers, Kubernetes, and cloud-native.

I work as a Sr. Developer Advocate at Akamai Technologies, empowering developers to build the next wave of cloud computing using the CNCF project Spin, Kubernetes and GenAI.

With extensive experience in developing cloud-based solutions, I specialize in helping organizations harness the power of WebAssembly to build scalable, resilient, and efficient applications for the future.

Book

I'm self-publishing Building Serverless Applications with WebAssembly & Spin
