Sherpa! Profile: Sebastian Baldovino

Sebastian Baldovino, Lead Front-End Developer at Sherpa! Web Studios, is the resident renaissance guide, steering digital projects while creatively shepherding new directions for clients. Sebastian's skills drive the front-end production of web and mobile applications, as well as the development and support of client management systems.

Largely self-taught, Sebastian (seen here during an outing to the World of Coca-Cola in Atlanta) started programming at 12-years-old on a TK-90, inspired by his older brothers and digital gurus in their own right. A born linguist of programming language, the young Sebastian progressed from BASIC to Pascal to C programming language. He eventually landed his first job as a graphic designer producing AUTOCAD drawings. At 19, he expanded into web development, adding core front-end web technologies — HTML, CSS, & Javascript — to his repertoire.

An avid outdoorsman (naturally) and sportsman, Sebastian loves being immersed nature, preferably at the beach. He has enjoys playing and watching soccer, his favorite game. Most recently at a Sherpa! team-building event, he discovered the joys of firing handguns. Ever a child of the ’80s, the rock bands from the era and videogames of today hold this sherpa’s heart captive.
