Sebastian heads the software architecture efforts at Envato, where he helps solve difficult technical problems for some of Australia's largest websites. He is a former development manager and developer, and he was recently president of Ruby Australia. He's spoken at conferences in Australia and abroad, including Agile Australia, RubyConf, and SATURN. Although he grew up in Sweden, Sebastian now lives in Melbourne, Australia. It was about the last place he ever thought he'd visit, yet alone live. After eight years and counting, however, he has no plans of leaving—at least not until he actually sees a snake.
