Slide 1 of 4
I had the privilege of learning to code under Sebastian Vega at BrainStation in Miami. His approach to teaching was not only thorough but also highly engaging, making complex concepts accessible to everyone, regardless of their prior experience. What set Sebastian apart was his extraordinary creativity to set analogies and examples from ordinary life to help students understand coding languages and the fundamentals of programming. Beyond his outstanding technical skills, Sebastian created alongside his team of educators, a supportive and collaborative environment in our classroom. His passion for coding and education was truly infectious, inspiring me and many of my peers to pursue our tech careers with confidence and enthusiasm, often sharing anecdotes from his own transition into tech. I wholeheartedly recommend him as an exceptional educator and mentor.
Marita Diaz - Web Engineer at American Press Institute
Sebastian is one of the most intentional and thoughtful professionals I have had the fortune of working with. He strives to deeply understand his domain at a fundamental level and can effortlessly articulate the most complicated concepts to his coworkers. Sebastian holds his work at a higher level of excellence that inspires those he works with and yields impressive and timely results. I can’t recommend him highly enough.
Ryan Renne - Lead Developer at Elekta
I had the pleasure of working with Sebastian during his 2 year tenure at Elekta. What stands out most to me about Sebastian is that he was capable of independently identifying an appropriate design or implementation for a feature or reproducing and fixing a defect in the software. For example, Sebastian developed the database queries responsible for allowing customers to update the type of their custom metrics in the system. The implementation was necessarily complex, but Sebastian ensured it was readable and performant. Sebastian is also an incredible team player. Sebastian did a great job presenting demos during sprint reviews to highlight the accomplishments of the team while communicating the business value to stakeholders. I also appreciated his passion to teach and mentor other developers, often spending an entire sprint with a junior developer. This was especially important during periods of rapid team growth. Sebastian ensured that the new developers on his team had a strong onboarding experience to set them up for success. Sebastian would be an asset to any team looking for a well-rounded engineer with strong experience in modern web design and development.
Kyle Burnett - Principal Software Engineer at Elekta
I had the pleasure of hiring Sebastian, an exceptional app developer who truly impressed me with his skills and dedication. Sebastian developed an app for me within an impressive four-week timeframe, showcasing both speed and quality in his work. What set Sebastian apart was his hands-on approach throughout the entire development process. He was highly engaged, regularly updating me on progress, and actively seeking feedback to ensure the app aligned perfectly with my vision. His responsiveness and proactive communication made the collaboration smooth and enjoyable. Sebastian's technical expertise was outstanding. The final product was polished and exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend Sebastian to anyone looking for a talented and reliable app developer. His ability to deliver high-quality work quickly, combined with his collaborative and communicative nature, makes him an exceptional professional in his field.
