Hello! I'm Simon Bukin, a frontend engineer and UX designer based out of Santa Cruz, CA (đ). I live here with my fiancĂ©e 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
Outside of work, I enjoy a smorgasbord of things, including but not limited to:
- Fiddling with my espresso machine.
- Polishing my Russian (đ·đș) and working on my German (đ©đȘ).
- 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.
