Tim Van Mourik is a Full Stack Engineer with 12 years of experience who blends deep technical skill, product focus, and team-building instincts to elevate startup engineering toward scalable, sustainable systems. He pairs a PhD in technical neuroscience and data analysis with hands-on work across full stack apps, standalone tools, and data science toolboxes, bringing an architecture-minded, holistic approach to problem solving. Tim is an advocate for open science and reproducible workflows, contributing to notable projects like the FieldTrip MATLAB toolbox and the RainCloudPlots visualization library where he improved portability and code quality. He values honesty with empathy and open communication, which he uses to coach teams toward pragmatic trade-offs between short-term business value and long-term maintainability. Comfortable in both research and product environments, he has practical experience with federated analysis and real-time neuroimaging tooling that many engineers lack.

Contributions summary:Tim contributed to the legacy MATLAB tutorial for raincloud plots, adapting and refactoring the original code. They replaced double quotes with single quotes for consistency and reverted Pythonic string concatenation. The user also improved code readability and maintainability by standardizing variable naming conventions, spacing, and function inputs. Furthermore, they made path adjustments and corrected the figures' locations to ensure that plots could be generated correctly.
Contributions summary:Tim primarily focused on restructuring and bug fixes within the FieldTrip MATLAB toolbox. These changes involved modifying code related to real-time fMRI functionality, particularly concerning Siemens scanners. The user added and modified FLTK headers and included the necessary DLLs for Windows compilation. Additionally, the user corrected compilation paths and made adjustments to MEX files used for data processing, ensuring the project's functionality and compatibility.
