Hi there!
My name is Timo, I am a European living in Berlin. I am an Applied Scientist with Zalando, where my tasks range from software engineering to data science in the domain of fashion outfit generation and recommendation.
Besides that, I run a one-man business called Denk Development where I create custom software and hardware solutions for customers. Most of the time that involves microcontroller programming.
In my leisure time I like to 3d print and occasionally work on artsy projects. Besides that I play the piano and learn the violin, and do some sports: playing ultimate frisbee and road cycling are my favorite activities.
An overview of my recent projects is given at blog.timodenk.com.
