Summary
Tim Brown is a manager for digital engineering who builds cloud-native infrastructure and user-facing tools to deliver large-scale agroforestry carbon removal projects at Earthbanc. He brings over a decade of applied R&D experience from the Australian National University, where he led open-source high-throughput phenotyping, spatial computing and data-management initiatives that scaled phenomics from growth chambers to landscapes. A serial founder and inventor, Tim created low-cost tools like TraitCapture, the multi-billion-pixel Gigavision camera platform, and the first VR digital twin of an ecosystem, combining drone, mesh and hyperspectral data for novel research applications. His work spans hands-on hardware, software and machine learning—most notably co-leading national open-source infrastructure for drone science and pioneering 3D-hyperspectral ML for plant-based vaccine monitoring. Trained as an ecologist and computational modeller (PhD work produced a leading agent-based model of army-ant swarming), he uniquely translates complex ecological questions into scalable, reproducible engineering solutions.
