Matthias Endler, Your Rust Mentor


Hi, I’m Matthias Endler, a Rust developer and open-source maintainer with 20 years of experience in software development.
I help clients worldwide get the most out of Rust through training and consulting. I like no-frills, easy-to-follow, idiomatic Rust code.
But code is rarely the most important part! Software development is a team effort, and I’ll ensure that you and your colleagues feel heard and have a great experience working with me. I deeply care about the people I work with.
Don’t take my word for it. Here’s what Ernest from Quilt recently had to say:
Matthias was a godsend for our team. We had a legacy codebase written while we were first learning Rust and didn’t even know how to think clearly about best practices. He didn’t fix the code for us; he created a safe space for us to learn how to fix it ourselves. His patient mentorship and vulnerable engagement accelerated the maturity of both our codebase and our developers.
