Timo

Hi there!


My name is Timo, I am a Software Engineer living in Zürich, Switzerland. At Google I work on music generation and recognition with machine learning methods.

In my leisure time I like to 3d print and occasionally work on artsy projects. Besides that I am into music and learn piano and violin. Sports-wise road cycling and hiking are my favorite activities.

To get a deeper idea of who I am you are invited to take a look at my values. An overview of recent projects is given at blog.timodenk.com.
