S Simon Maybury

Hi, I’m Simon.

I translate complex requirements into things that work. I’ve designed buildings as an architect since 2015, and now build software solutions with the same attention to how people will use it. I care about the craft — and about the difference it makes to the users and the businesses behind it.

SmartTrip NYC

Itinerary planning with real-time busyness data

A full-stack web app for planning trips to New York — search, filter, save, and route around real-time crowd levels at each attraction. Built as a team of four over a single semester. I led UI/UX, owned the frontend and ran the user story / acceptance criteria backlog.

Orbit

Community + events platform · built with an AI-native workflow

A solo build exploring how far Figma + Claude Code can take a single designer-developer. Explore feed, community discussions, and a host-your-own-event flow — designed end-to-end and shipped using a deliberate AI workflow I’ve been refining over the year.

The Space

Cultural / community building in cross-laminated timber

A flexible community space constructed in CLT, carefully balancing acoustic performance, daylighting, and material efficiency within a tight budget. Delivered through complex procurement conditions during the COVID-19 pandemic, requiring clear and consistent communication across stakeholders. Highly Commended at the New London Architecture Awards 2021.

Crow’s Nest

New-build private dwelling, south-east coast of England

A new-build private home on the south-east English coast. I led the project through a challenging planning process involving multiple specialist stakeholders — sustained back-and-forth with the council, and clear communication with the client about progress and risk along the way. Securing planning unlocked £300k of revenue, and required me to get up to speed quickly on each stakeholder’s priorities and articulate how the scheme addressed every one of them.

ABOUT

Solution Designer.
Across different mediums.

I qualified as an architect in London after a Bachelor of Architecture at TU Dublin and a Postgraduate Diploma in Professional Practice at the University of Westminster.

My years practising as an architect taught me how to lead complex projects, work with senior clients, and ship things that have to actually stand up — leading €5–10m projects through client discovery, comparative options, POCs that clarified trade-offs, and the stakeholder alignment needed to hold delivery together.

In 2024 I moved back to Dublin and added the technical foundation: an MSc in Computer Science at UCD, completed with First Class Honours. Fluent across React, TypeScript, Node, Spring Boot, Postgres, and modern AI tooling like Claude Code and Figma-to-code workflows.

Same operating model, different medium.
