Hey people! My name is Sebastian and I am trying to get my CS degree and learning Full Stack Web Development on the side.
I am an immigrant in the United States working on getting my residence status and hopefully someday become a full fledged American Citizen!
I am passionate about politics, non-profit organizations (specially those dedicated to education), and Artificial Intelligence.

I came to this site after reading an inspiring piece by Maribel Duran in Medium titled "My journey from first generation college grad to Software Engineer" where she recommends various great communities like this one. I recommend her articles if you're struggling with motivation or looking for some basic resources to tie concepts down.

I know it's a long introduction, but long story short, I have been trying the "lone wolf" approach to learning and it has been hard and frustrating, so I decided to beat the shyness and language barrier and put myself out there, and I cannot wait to share my experiences and read about everyone else's around here!

Thanks for reading!
