Sébastien Robaszkiewicz (Robi) Design Lead
About Robi
French, Robi is a serial entrepreneur with an eye (usually two) for design. Last year, he co-founded and designed the interface for the French startup Pionid and he now devotes his extra-curricular time to Ingresse, a Brazilian ticketing startup. Passionate about music and arts, he is the artist of the group and intends to make good use of his creativity: Robi was the leader and singer of the Jack's Brothers, the flagship rock band from the École Polytechnique where he also co-founded the University Radio before receiving his engineering degree. As a true globe-trotter, Robi is now finishing his studies at Stanford University in a Master of Computer Science (HCI).
