Bio
Brandon Larocque
Working with Thomas was a wonderful experience. His software development skills are top notch, but moreover, his collaborative manner is truly invaluable. Thomas possesses a finely tuned listening ear, taking input from those around him and synthesizing it into his own knowledge and expertise to produce a whole greater than its parts. I have tremendous respect for Thomas both professionally and personally.
Prash Chopra
A seasoned medical imaging researcher. An organized professional. And most of all, a wonderful person. Thomas can be an inspiration, a source of state-of-the-art in image registration, a guide in generic software design, and most of his talents would still be left undiscovered. I would recommend him highly in a senior research and development position.
