About

Hey! I’m Daniel Marcinkowski. Originally from Warsaw, Poland, and based in Berlin, Germany since 2018.

I’ve nearly a decade of experience in marketing, content creation, and community building for tech companies. I turn complex technologies into clear, effective strategies that drive growth. Known for my focus, adaptability, and strong teamwork, I bring a practical, results-driven approach to every project.

On this website, I explore how I use technology to be creative, productive, and healthy while coping with ADHD in a world full of distractions and attention-grabbing platforms.

You can contact me here or follow me on Mastodon, Bluesky, Threads (I will stick to one of those, eventually), and LinkedIn.
