Sebastian Valine
Computer Engineering student interested in systems, embedded programming, and autonomy.
Currently building projects in these areas to deepen my knowledge and skills.
About
My name is Sebastian. I am a Computer Engineering student studying at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities. I am working hard to deepen my knowledge of Python and C++, data structures and algorithmic thinking, and embedded systems, both through my classes and by building real projects.
Outside of school, I serve as Cadet Commander for my Civil Air Patrol squadron. In this role, I manage operations and training for a squadron of over 65 cadets. This means planning and executing training at weekly meetings in compliance with national guidelines, mentoring my staff, and coordinating with higher leadership.
I am currently looking ahead to Summer 2026 and seeking an internship in software development or embedded engineering. I want to work somewhere I can learn skills and contribute meaningfully to a team.
