what took you so long?

hi there

I'm Sebastian. My journey with tech started during my gap year in London in 2018 doing a Udemy course on fullstack development. Since then I have completed a Bachelors of Science in Computing Science at the University of Aberdeen, collaborated on several projects, and worked several jobs in industry. Currently, I am with JPMorgan Chase in Glasgow.

I enjoy learning about new technologies. Although I have mainly developed skills in fullstack development, I enjoy visualisations as well and in the future I hope to learn more about big data.

In my spare time I enjoy staying active, exploring the city I live in, and working on personal side projects. Most recently, I worked on a website to help coordinate which performances me and my friends want to see during Way Out West festival in Gothenburg 2024. I called it We Out West (can you guess where I got the name from?). It's available at weoutwest.info - check it out why don't you!

Software Engineer Intern, June 2022 - Aug 2022

During the summer of my penultimate year at uni, I worked as a Technology Intern on a Java Kafka project aimed at managing the team's Kafka elements in configurable YAML file as opposed to using the UI. The application is still in use by the team today, and as a result of my efforts I received a return offer to start fulltime as a graduate the following year.
