PLAYER 1 PROFILE
I’m Simon, a software + design engineer with 2+ years delivering production features at a venture-backed startup. I work across the stack with React/Next.js and Node microservices.
Day to day I break down tickets, design and build the UI/UX myself, collaborate with PMs, build services, wire them into the frontend, and cover the work with unit (Jest) and E2E tests before code review.
I’m looking for roles where I can keep shipping quickly while collaborating tightly with product teams.
What I Bring to the Table
- Self-driven learner: picked up Craft.js and custom customer-service apps on my own time to unblock the team.
- A sharp eye for UI/UX, refined over 6+ years in graphic design.
- Startup-honed builder: design Figma flows myself, create internal tools, and ship the frontend end to end.
- Modern frontend skills in React, Next.js, and TypeScript (plus backend integrations when needed).
- Full-stack experience with a passion for building great user interfaces.
