Senior UX/UI Engineer (Design Engineer) with 8 years of experience translating complex enterprise workflows into usable product experiences and implementation-ready design systems. Sole designer at Agentic Dream across Repfabric and Strata, where the design system — semantic tokens and versioned Storybook — contributed to +40% SLA compliance and +40% throughput. I build design systems as code and decide where AI belongs and where it doesn't. Remote from Puebla, TN-eligible.
I turn complex enterprise workflows into intuitive, scalable products. As a sole designer at Agentic Dream, I led design across Repfabric (CRM/ERP) and Strata (multi-agent AI platform), building their shared design system - semantic tokens, versioned Storybook, and automation rules - used by 40+ engineers across two continents. The system contributed to +40% SLA compliance and +40% throughput.
I map how people actually work before automating anything, then design interfaces and structured workflows that make adoption straightforward (and interventions obvious). My designs are measured by fewer errors, faster work completion, and less rework - not by a more polished interface.
At Agentic Dream, I run design end-to-end: discovery, exploratory (concept) visual designs, design systems, UX research, hi-fi prototyping, and production hand-off in code. I also run the company's internal-facing design process, including Figma workspace libraries, usage guidelines, asset requirements, and design inventory governance.
On Repfabric, I contribute to resource allocation and timeline orchestration for 6,000+ technicians — directly relevant to implementations involving work orders, service windows, execution of field jobs, and back-office financial operations, and thus also what enterprise clients depend on. On Strata, I design orchestration views, multi-agent workflows, and structured exceptions that ensure humans and AI make sense of each other.
Figma supports collaborative design and governance. I deliver semantic tokens, components, explicit usage guidance, and accessibility rules across 13 themes, enabling client engineering teams (in Mexico and India) to ship screens without requiring my direct involvement in every build. Where hand-off is lossy, I briefly pair with engineers to clarify states, interactions, and edge cases.
My AI Automation Maturity Framework distinguishes L1 workflow automation, L2 agentic integration, and L3 autonomous systems. Each level clarifies where AI should lead, assist, or stay out — ensuring technology serves the work, not the other way around.
I also independently researched, designed, built, deployed, and tested sebastianbalderas.com with Next.js, React, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS, including its conversational assistant, retrieval system, and guardrails. I treat this as a working portfolio of end-to-end (UX + engineering) product delivery, and use my learnings to improve its architecture and assistant behavior.
Based in Puebla, Mexico. Prioritizing opportunities in Mexico and remote LATAM; also open to suitable remote roles in other time zones. I am TN eligible (Mexican citizen). Open to senior Individual Contributor (IC) roles and selective design management positions.
