Hello! I'm Simon Bukin, a design engineer 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 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
- Design Engineer @ Intrinsic
- Product Engineer @ Morf Health
Outside of work, I enjoy a smorgasbord of things, including but not limited to:
- Producing music (mostly just copying A.G. Cook).
- Collecting vinyl records.
- Learning Japanese (đŻđ”)
- 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.
- Climbing ~V2s (but I did climb a V3 once!)
- Photography and birds. Maybe both at once.
- Polishing my Russian (đ·đș) from "heritage speaker" to "native speaker".
- Learning German (đ©đȘ) at around a B2 level (around A2 - B1 right now).
- Fiddling with different ways of making coffee (French press is nice).
