Summary
Kimmo Palomaki is a Senior Software Engineer with over 10 years of recent hands-on experience and a multi-decade career in telecom R&D, currently working at Nokia after a stint building Yocto Linux BSPs and camera/FPGA integrations at Sasken. He combines deep C/C++ and embedded systems expertise—kernel driver development, cross-compiling, RTOS work and CI/test automation—with a history of technical leadership and scrum/master roles. Kimmo is fluent in tooling and processes from Subversion and GNU make to Git/Gerrit, Jenkins, Robot Framework and unit testing, and he enjoys clean code and mentoring teams to deliver reliable products. Notably, he designed a kernel camera driver for a 50MP Teledyne sensor and implemented FPGA logic to stream images through Zynq PL to CSI2, showing a rare full-stack embedded-to-hardware capability. Based in Finland, he learns quickly, embraces new tools and methods, and balances coaching with a willingness to ask for help when needed.
