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.
