Kelly Paredes
Kelly Paredes has hosted 163 episodes.
Kelly Schuster-Paredes is an educator, curriculum designer, technology leader, and Pythonista whose work has expanded from teaching computer science into AI strategy, professional learning, and responsible technology adoption. She holds a Master’s in Curriculum, Instruction, and Technology from Nova Southeastern University and has taught in London, Lima, and the United States.
Kelly began integrating technology into the classroom in 2003, experimenting with FileMaker, HTML, robotics, and eventually Python. Years of teaching programming shaped how she now approaches AI: not simply as a new set of tools, but as another layer of computing that requires foundational knowledge, judgment, data literacy, security awareness, and an understanding of how systems work.
Her current work focuses on AI strategy and literacy, curriculum and professional learning, educational technology, and helping schools move from experimentation with AI toward thoughtful and responsible implementation. She continues to describe herself as a “teacher who codes,” although today much of her teaching happens beyond the traditional classroom.
Kelly is a co-host of the Teaching Python podcast, where she explores Python, computer science education, AI, and the wider knowledge people need to learn, build, and make sound decisions with technology.

Julian Sequeira
Julian Sequeira has hosted 6 episodes.
Julian Sequeira is a Python coach, mindset coach, and technologist based in Australia who joins Teaching Python as a co-host bringing a fresh perspective from outside the traditional classroom.
Julian's coding journey started with C++ in high school, wound through HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and took a decisive turn toward Python in 2015. Since then, he's been hooked — building tools to solve everyday problems and discovering that Python's real power is helping people who don't even realize code can fix what's frustrating them.
Professionally, Julian spent years as a Data Centre Technician at Amazon Web Services keeping the cloud running, and co-founded the PyBites Python community where he's coached hundreds of developers. Throughout his career, he's had a knack for mentoring and training — from launching an internship program in the AWS data centers to one-on-one Python and mindset coaching.
On Teaching Python, Julian brings the perspective of someone who coaches adults and professionals rather than K-12 students, creating a natural complement to Sean and Kelly's classroom experience. He's here to provide insights from his corner of the world, bridge the gap between learning to code and applying it professionally — and maybe provide some comic relief along the way.
