Wilkens Etienne is an IT professional with extensive experience in technology management, endpoint solutions, and systems infrastructure. Alongside his work in IT, Wilkens writes as an independent journalist and blogger, covering global developments and exploring how technology can contribute to societal progress.
His work in IT has given him a front-row view of how quickly the technology landscape shifts, and that vantage point feeds directly into his writing. Wilkens follows developments in artificial intelligence and machine learning closely, particularly their practical applications in business and everyday life, and is interested in how automation and emerging computing technologies are changing the way people work. He also has a strong interest in mathematics and follows new research and discoveries in the field, particularly where mathematical ideas intersect with computing, technology, and real-world problem-solving. Through his journalism, he aims to make sense of these shifts for readers who aren't necessarily technical themselves, connecting new developments back to their broader impact on society.
For ALLATRA Media, Wilkens covers LLMs, machine learning, computing, robotics, cybersecurity and reports news on developments in mathematics.
