Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTarek Hiemstra is a software and DevOps engineer based in Espoo with nine years of hands-on experience building backend systems and 5G control-plane software. He bridges Python/Django REST development with low-level C++ implementation of protocols, translating specifications into tested, production-ready code and system component tests. At Nokia he combined feature development, maintenance and CI/DevOps ownership—managing OpenStack VMs, containers, Ansible and distributed compilation—while mentoring a small team. Previously he delivered customer-facing reporting and analytics features using Python, Django and SQL at Holvi, emphasizing maintainable, well-tested code. Tarek’s academic record (B.Eng. with a 4.77/5.00) and his appetite for new challenges make him comfortable across both cloud-native pipelines and embedded telecom stacks. He is open to remote or hybrid roles and actively cultivates practical CI improvements that reduce friction between development and release.
