About

Gleb Stroganov

I'm a design engineer at Evil Martians: I design the product and ship the code for dev-tool and AI startups. I've done it for a decade on one premise — good tools assume their user is smart.

That premise pulled me through developer IDEs, no-code platforms, canvas editors, and node-based workflow builders. When vibe coding arrived I was one of the first designers on the team to try it — now I ship design and code on one screen with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Zed, and I've shipped several production-ready products this way. The terminal became my friend, not an enemy. Real components and their look-and-feel live in Storybook. I'm growing my own design tool. Bolt is the reach for when a prototype has to ship in a day.

Most recently I built AgentPrism — an open-source React library that turns agent traces into visual debuggers. Tree views, timelines, sequence diagrams. Quotient AI runs it in production. Debug time: four hours down to thirty seconds.

Before that I designed Miru, a graph-native cybersecurity investigation platform — zero to working MVP in seven months, design and frontend end-to-end. And shipped the GMI Cloud redesign — 12 pages, 3D visuals, 3.5 weeks.

Open source: I co-created Harmony — OKLCH palettes with APCA contrast, now installed across the Figma community.

Off the clock, I'm a music lover — I collect vinyl, catch live shows and festivals, and play everything from bass guitar to modular synths. If there's a festival in town, I'll be there; between sets, I'm digging for records.

What I do

  • Dev-tool UX

    A decade making developer tools that get used, not abandoned.

  • AI agent observability

    Agent traces made legible — AgentPrism took debugging from 4 hours to 30 seconds.

  • Design + frontend, end-to-end

    Most designers who code stop at prototypes. Miru 0 to MVP in 7 months; GMI Cloud in 3.5 weeks.

  • AI-augmented delivery

    The terminal is the workshop now — production prototypes, not demos, in weeks rather than months.

  • Color and accessibility

    OKLCH palettes with APCA contrast, baked into design tokens — Harmony ships them across the Figma community.

  • Communicating the craft

    Pattern catalogs, dev-tool UX writing, conference talks — years of it on evilmartians.com, not a dropped Substack.
