Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTim Pokorny is a seasoned technology leader and CTO with 14 years of professional experience and over a decade focused on simulation and training technologies, guiding Calytrix Technologies' product development, delivery and support. He combines hands-on engineering and architecture design with executive responsibilities—managing ICT infrastructure, cyber security, bids and customer demonstrations—to ensure technically compliant, operationally robust simulation solutions. Tim has deep roots in open-source distributed simulation as a long-time lead developer on the Portico Project/Open LVC, bridging IEEE HLA and DIS standards with practical tooling for interoperability and networked training. Holding a PhD in Distributed Simulation, he uniquely blends academic rigour with commercial delivery, often translating complex standards into deployable systems for defence and enterprise customers. Based in Perth, he is as comfortable writing core simulator architecture as he is steering strategic business and support processes.
