Tim Van Der Hulst is a seasoned technology leader and CTO based in Auckland with 11 years of focused software engineering and architecture experience and a career stretching back to the early 2000s. He combines hands-on backend and DevOps expertise—Python/FastAPI, Pyramid, Elasticsearch, AWS CloudFormation/ECS, Lambda—with product-minded work on mobile (Flutter) and templated email systems to ship reliable, test-covered features. As CTO at Nui Markets he’s driven migrations from EC2 to ECS, introduced structured logging and analytics practices, and built real-time and event-driven services that improved observability and operational automation. Tim is equally at home refactoring legacy stacks and creating new microservices, and he has a consistent track record of championing tooling improvements like Docker, CI/CD, and comprehensive integration testing. Notably, he rewrote a legacy RN app in Flutter, built CLI tooling to manage sanitized dev databases, and created Lambdas that surface AWS activity to Slack—small operational moves with outsized impact on developer productivity and monitoring.
