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.

Every quantum computer that corrects its own errors is running a race against itself. The hardware measures its qubits over and over, thousands of times a second, and each round produces a small…
The hardest part was never the motor. It was the listening. When a person's hand still works, the brain sends a clean order down the nerves and the muscles snap to it. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis…
Picture a cloud of specks too small to see without a microscope, drifting through a maze of obstacles none of them has ever encountered. No one is at the joystick. The specks fan out, squeeze through…
