Senior🎓
Top SchoolTimothy Scaffidi is a hands-on software engineer and leader with 14–15 years building real-time graphics, computer vision, and scalable parallel systems, currently contributing at Apple after serving as CTO of Scatter. He led development of Depthkit’s full-body volumetric capture and sensor-fusion algorithms, driving a 10x revenue increase and patentable IP while optimizing real-time rendering for constrained devices. Comfortable from low-level C++ and GStreamer video work to cloud and web integrations, he has architected high-throughput pipelines that process up to 10 simultaneous RGB-D streams in real time. An active contributor to the popular openFrameworks creative-coding toolkit (notably ofxAndroid and GPU particle optimizations), he blends research-driven solutions with product delivery. Trained as an MFA digital artist with a CS background, he uniquely bridges artistic vision and rigorous engineering to solve complex multimedia problems.
