Hi, I’m Timo 👋

I’m Timo Mämecke, online sometimes known as @timomeh. I’m a Product Engineer at Railway. If you ever see me IRL, there will be a 95% chance that I’m wearing a flannel shirt. They’re the best.

You can reach out to me via email. I’m also on Bluesky and Twitter, where I’m mostly crossposting my own Shorts.

Career

You can find a full version of my CV with more details on LinkedIn.

I’m currently working as Product Engineer at Railway.

In summer 2021 I joined Gigs as one of the founding engineers, became Frontend Engineering Lead a year later and Staff Engineer in early 2025. At Gigs, I worked on shaping the tech of all web-based products to meet the needs of all kinds of customers, so Gigs could grow while keeping things simple and easy to use.

In 2020 and 2021, I founded and built micdrops together with Enno. Micdrops was a low-latency concert livestreaming platform and marketplace where artists could play concerts from their homes for groups of up to 50 guests, and fans could book their own concerts. Micdrops opened up a new, highly profitable revenue stream for artists. As co-founder and CEO, I learned a lot about various facets of running a business.

Before that, I worked at Railslove, a product agency based in Cologne with a focus on building solutions for startups & scaleups. I coached, consulted and built products from scratch for clients in fintech, health tech, transportation, e-commerce, civic tech and smart city.

I wrote my bachelor’s thesis on the topic of continuous deployment and built a CI/CD tool in React and Elixir as part of it.

While I was studying, I gained experience as a freelance developer, maintained deutsche-startups.de for some time, built digitale-leute.de, developed an app for a major German TV station, and founded my own web agency with three friends which had some smaller and some larger customers.
