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.
