Boris Scheiman

Boris is the lead .NET developer in Glider Software Solutions, a consulting company specializing in financial services. He's in charge of designing and programming our .NET-based ATM solution which is ready to hit production now. Boris got interested in Kinect back when it was still called Project Natal; however, it was Adafruit's challenge and the resulting drivers (CodeLabs, OpenKinect) that got him hooked and started developing NKinect for his own needs.
