Simon Yamil Ibalo

Over the past 12 years, I've built my career across multiple roles in software development — Business Analyst, UI/UX Engineer, Product Owner and Scrum Master — and contributed to more than 30 projects, including international engagements such as an NFT marketplace built for the International Olympic Committee and an enterprise SaaS personalization platform used by 100+ global brands. I've worked across startups and corporate environments, most of the time collaborating directly with clients and end users. That close contact shaped how I approach problems: understanding the business need behind a request before building the solution, so what I ship actually adds value. Soft skills: I have over a decade of experience with agile methodologies, mainly Scrum (Scrum Master Certified), and I have used Design Thinking and the Agile Inception Deck during discovery and planning. I've spent the last six years working remotely with distributed, English-speaking teams (B2+). Hard skills: I specialize in building pixel perfect interfaces with modern web technologies. My toolkit includes React, JavaScript (ES6+), HTML5, CSS3/SASS (BEM), and responsive, pixel-perfect UI, with experience in Angular Material, Tailwind CSS, Webflow, Shopify, and WordPress/WooCommerce. I use AI-assisted tools like Claude and Cursor in my daily workflow, and rely on Git/GitHub, BitBucket, Figma, Jira, Trello, Miro, Slack, and Discord for collaboration and delivery.
