Background

About Sean Vanderaa

Hi there I’m Sean, a project manager who thrives at the intersection of ideas and product development. From designing user flows and coding full-stack webapps to onboarding users and presenting to audiences of 500+, I bring a builder’s mindset to every stage of the product journey. I love turning abstract ideas into real, usable tools that make an impact. Here are a few of my core principles: Transparency I always make sure people are in the know, whether communicating reasons for strategic pivots or being upfront about what I don’t know. Honesty builds stronger teams and trust. Meaningful Impact I gravitate toward work that helps people — not just products that make money. From fighting misinformation (Gigafact), reducing textile waste (EkoLinq), fostering human connection (Wavelength), or educating people on emerging technology (AI Student Collective), building for a purpose keeps me energized. User Feedback Great products aren’t built in the dark. Talking to users, customers, and even family and friends is the best way to ensure a product hits real pain points. If any of this resonates, I’m always down to connect. Shoot me a message — I’d love to hear what you’re working on 🤙
