Trent Tinker

Trent majored in Computer Science and was introduced to the geospatial world as an undergraduate at the College of Charleston. He immediately saw the benefits of connecting Computer Science and GIS and has spent the past two decades in the geospatial domain.

Trent has spent most of his career working for geospatial product companies including Esri, Luciad, Hexagon US Federal, and now Cesium. His focus throughout his career has primarily been in the Defense and Aviation domains, helping government agencies and large system integrators build 2D/3D/4D geospatial solutions.

Prior to joining Cesium, Trent worked for the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) supporting their nonprofit mission to ensure location information is Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR). 3D Tiles is an OGC Community Standard developed by the Cesium team, which advocates for open standards to advance the Modeling, Simulation and Gaming community.
