Summary
Sebastian Benner is a technology leader and CTPO with 11 years of experience applying Python, data science, and engineering to solve complex problems and drive product innovation. Based in the Valparaiso Region of Chile, he has progressed through roles from project engineer and university instructor to Chief Data Officer and Innovation Lead at uPlanner, now steering strategy as CTPO. He blends rigorous academic training from Stanford, École Polytechnique and Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María with hands-on coding and storytelling—regularly speaking at PyCon, PyDay and other community events to make technical ideas accessible. An active member of Python Chile and contributor to projects like Streamlit and Vizzu, he pairs open-source collaboration with practical analytics and product delivery. He also maintains a blog where he experiments with code-driven ideas, reflecting a penchant for exploring new concepts rather than just scaling existing systems.
