About
Hey! I'm Sebastian, and I love building new things with code. I'm currently finishing an M.S. in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science at St. John's University. I like to build across the full-stack, building efficient and scalable apps with integrated AI/ML systems. I especially enjoy projects at the intersection of music and tech.
As I am finishing my last semester of my M.S. program, I'm building personal projects while picking up new certifications along the way. I'm always learning, and open to new opportunities to grow as a developer.
When I am not coding, I enjoy going to the gym, making music, watching movies, and drawing.
