Senior🎓
Top SchoolNicole Nisters is a Senior Software Engineer based in Utrecht with eight years of experience bridging creative 3D craftsmanship and production-grade Python development. After seven years as a freelance 3D artist, she pivoted to software, building full-stack projects, CLI tools, and contributing test automation to open-source (notably improving coverage for the termgraph terminal-graph tool). She specializes in Python, web development, Docker-based deployments and self-hosted Linux infrastructure, and prefers open-source tooling such as vim for day-to-day work. Calm, autodidactic and creative, she brings a designer’s eye for detail to software quality and testability. Eager to deepen expertise in Kubernetes, automation and security, she’s seeking roles where she can both contribute immediately and continue learning.
