Senior🎓
Top SchoolSimon Young is a Senior UX Engineer with eight years of experience building user-focused web applications, progressing from junior front-end roles to leading UX work at Claromentis. He blends a strong front-end skillset (React, Sass, Webpack, Node.js) with practical back-end exposure from a MEAN-focused General Assembly education, and a background in bank operations that sharpens his attention to accuracy and compliance. Comfortable working in Scrum and Kanban, Simon has shipped customer-facing products for international clients and adapted white-label platforms to diverse branding requirements. His MA in Communication and Media Studies and passion for film and music inform a design-first approach to UX, while teaching English in Bogotá highlights his cross-cultural communication skills and ongoing interest in languages. An engineer who values creative collaboration, he enjoys evolving ideas from concept to production—whether a web feature or a song.
