Hello, I am

Simon Maguire

Software Engineer focussed on tackling challenging problems and creating performant tools that enable a wonderful experience for users. Looking to utilize my expertise building applications to improve everyday lives at scale.

I am a full stack software engineer with almost two years of professional experience building web applications. I had the honor of working with great engineers at Emergency Reporting, helping fire departments and Emergency Medical Services document the work they were doing and start to get better insights out of that data. We helped create data with better integrity improving government oversight and communities safety.

I love both the concrete and the indirect. The concrete ways that a new feature can directly impact end users. And the more nebulous ways that software can improve systems. The data gathering and analytical work that leads to insights and improvements. I enjoy the problems and puzzles as long as they are bringing value.

I have have taken some time away from professional software development. I explored making pottery, working in a bakery, whitewater rafting and taking care of trees. I always knew I'd find my way back to creating software. I have been enjoying working on side projects by myself and with friends. I am looking to create great software and work with passionate engineers. If you want to do that too please let me know!
