I am a Software Engineer

About Me

   I am Sebastian Galloway, a dedicated and innovative Computer Science graduate from Florida International University. As a Software Engineering Fellow at HeadStarter AI , I have deepened my skills in artificial intelligence and software engineering by collaborating with peers on cutting-edge projects. My involvement in CodePath's Technical Interview Prep pathway has sharpened my ability to solve challenging algorithmic problems and excel in technical interviews, while my participation in ColorStack fuels my commitment to diversity and inclusion in tech, aiming to increase the representation of Black and Latinx students in computing.

   At Code Ninjas and Gen2050 , I taught and led programming and robotics programs year-round as a lead Robotics/Coding Instructor, nurturing competitiveness, creativity, and problem-solving skills in young learners. My academic journey at Florida International University includes comprehensive coursework in software engineering, artificial intelligence, and database management, providing a strong foundation in computer science. Through projects like a machine learning stock predictor, a stock analytics dashboard, and a cancer treatment outcome prediction tool, I have applied my theoretical knowledge to real-world applications. Passionate about embracing new challenges, I thrive in diverse communities and enjoy supporting others in their journeys, committed to making a positive impact in the tech industry and beyond.
