Sebastian Anders

Product Design Engineer


Design & engineering, closing gaps. User flow design, hands-on prototyping in code to navigate the team through ambiguity.

I design and develop features and products. Focusing on the scope by prototyping the ambiguous thing in a few days instead of arguing about it for three sprints. I write specs engineers actually build from, I close the design–engineering gap indefinitely. I am a product design engineer person who is deep in the trenches but always keeps the bigger picture
