Derrick Timmermans is a software developer and Data Science & AI student with a decade of hands-on coding experience, currently building embedded firmware and Python infrastructure for an educational robotics project at Maastricht University. He maintains sentakki, an open-source ruleset that recreates Sega's Maimai gameplay within the popular osu! project, and contributes UI-focused enhancements to the upstream osu codebase. Comfortable across C++, Python, and TypeScript, he pairs low-level systems work—writing firmware for Adafruit Feather M0 and a binary Serial/UDP protocol—with front-end UI and game-engine tinkering. Derrick’s hobby of building games from scratch informs a practical curiosity about rendering, audio, and input subsystems that most developers take for granted.
