Hello! I'm Simon Bukin, a frontend engineer and UX designer based out of San Francisco, CA. I live here with my wife and two cats, Blue and Mog. I have a BS in Computer Science with a minor in Statistics and specialize primarily in crafting quality user experiences. I'm always working on something new!

I've had the privilege of working at some excellent places, including the following:

  • Software Development Engineer @ Amazon
  • Frontend Software Development Engineer @ Amazon Web Services, SageMaker Console
  • Software Engineer @ Google, YouTube Premium
  • User Experience Engineer @ Google Cloud Storage
  • Founding Frontend Engineer @ Archipelago AI
  • User Experience Engineer @ Intrinsic

Outside of work, I enjoy a smorgasbord of things, including but not limited to:

  • Fiddling with different ways of making coffee (French press is nice).
  • Learning Japanese (đŸ‡ŻđŸ‡”), polishing my Russian (đŸ‡·đŸ‡ș) and working on my German (đŸ‡©đŸ‡Ș).
  • Climbing ~V2s (but I did climb a V3 once!).
  • Photography and birds. Maybe both at once.
  • Reading new books (and rereading the Three Body Problem series).
  • Listening to any music I can get my ears on.

...but this list changes all the time.
