Portfolio

Sebastian Abril

IT & Psychology graduate building thoughtful software at the intersection of design, AI, and human experience.

I’m an Information Technology and Psychology graduate from Florida State University — magna cum laude, University Honors — working where software meets cognitive science and human-computer interaction.

Over 2.5+ years across behavioral-research labs and hands-on roles in web development and immersive media, I’ve learned to build things that are as considered in how they feel as in how they work. I’m looking for roles where research, engineering, and design meet.
