Curriculum Vitae
Dorian Scheidt
Hi, my name is Dorian.
I’m a human being and experienced software engineer, currently living in Austin, Texas.
For the last decade and a half, I've worked to get computers to do things they wouldn't have done otherwise.
I love helping teams work together more effectively: to make better software, and to make software better.
