Timo Denk

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.

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 do some sports: playing ultimate frisbee and road cycling are my favorite activities.

An overview about my web pages can be found at sites.timodenk.com.
