Summary
Tuomas-matti Soikkeli is a Senior Clojure Engineer with over a decade of experience building cloud-native, data and GIS-backed systems from freelance startups to enterprise consultancies. He combines pragmatism and automation—favoring simple, testable code and automated pipelines—to deliver reliable backend services, often in Clojure but fluent across JavaScript, Python, Go and cloud platforms like Azure and AWS. His background spans full-stack and DevOps roles, data platform work with Hadoop/Spark, and long-running Clojure & GIS development for public infrastructure (lipas.fi). Comfortable leading teams and consulting on architecture, he gravitates toward bleeding-edge toolsets—serverless, Kubernetes and modern frontend stacks—while keeping a strong human-first approach to communication. Based in Jyväskylä, Finland, he brings entrepreneurial roots (TMS Interactive) and hands-on delivery experience that bridge operational needs and maintainable codebases.
