Tim Thirion

Tim Thirion is a technical leader on Kitware’s Medical Computing Team located in Carrboro, North Carolina. He leads development on cross-platform, distributed, and mixed-reality medical imaging applications that bridge desktop, mobile, and web. These applications have supported surgical robotics, ultrasound sonographers, and medical clinicians, engineers, and practitioners in both preoperative and intraoperative settings.

As his work is medically focused, visual fidelity, data security, and compliance are fundamental to his overall development process. He has led development on several applications that have been FDA 501(k) approved. He and his team also work closely with both the design teams of our collaborators as well as Kitware’s internal design team to deliver modern, unique, and polished user interfaces and experiences.

Tim is also passionate about mentoring developers through all career stages and looks for ways to offer his support and guidance.

Prior to joining Kitware, Tim was a software engineer at 3D Systems by way of its acquisition of Geomagic, Inc. in early 2013. His credits at 3D Systems/Geomagic include the iSense 3D scanning app, Geomagic Print, a fully 3D client for 3D printing, and the Capture plug-ins for SpaceClaim and SolidWorks. He was also a primary developer on several custom software solutions for digital dentistry and orthodontics while at Geomagic.

Tim received his master’s degree in computer science from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2008. In 2005, he received his bachelor’s degree in computer science and mathematics with a minor in physics from Purdue University.
