Samuli Thomasson is a DevOps engineer with 14 years of experience building reliable CI/CD, build and deployment infrastructure across security and telecom domains, now based in Vienna. A daily Linux user and polyglot programmer, he pairs practical automation skills with expertise in Nix and Haskell—authoring a book on Haskell high-performance programming—and has applied that knowledge to production-grade build systems. He has driven containerization and testing initiatives at cyan Digital Security, led environment and deployment tooling at RELEX, and recently implemented a Nix-based build and CI workflow for the privacy-focused Rust project Namada. Known for automating “anything and everything,” he blends low-level system tuning (e.g., file limits and environment settings) with high-level pipeline design to accelerate releases and improve reliability. Outside work he splits time between dog walks, reading, and personal engineering projects that often feed back into his professional toolset.
