Thorsten Hans is a Senior Developer Advocate at Akamai, a Docker Captain, and a pioneer in the WebAssembly and cloud-native ecosystem.

With over two decades of experience architecting distributed systems, Thorsten specializes in the intersection of serverless compute, containerization, and edge acceleration. As an active practitioner in the CNCF and WebAssembly communities, he works directly with engineering teams to transition heavy, container-bound workloads into lightning-fast WebAssembly components.

Thorsten is a frequent speaker at global tech conferences, an active open-source contributor, and writes extensively on server-side Wasm, Rust, and edge architecture. When he isn't benchmarking micro-runtimes or building with Spin, you can find him sharing deep technical insights on [his blog](https://thorsten-hans.com), riding his mountain bike, and engaging with developers worldwide.
