Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Girardeau-Montaut is a Senior Principal Software Engineer driving software for the Velys Robotic Assisted solution at Johnson & Johnson and a former Chief Scientific Officer of Orthotaxy, the startup now part of J&J. He is the creator and long-time maintainer of CloudCompare, a widely used open-source 3D point-cloud and mesh comparison tool, where his deep back-end work on import/export, geometric analysis and file-format robustness underpins much of the project’s reliability. With a PhD in Signal & Image Processing and an MSc from Mines Nancy, he brings 13 years of industry experience in scientific computing, 3D data processing and surgical robotics, and hands-on expertise in C++, OpenGL and Qt. He combines research-grade algorithm design with regulatory-grade engineering (IEC 62304), making him adept at taking advanced imaging solutions from prototype to medical-device production.
