Hi,

My name is Max. Over the past three years of experience as a Software Engineer, I worked on multiple greenfield projects and POCs, participating in every phase. My responsibilities included developing the infrastructure, designing the architecture and code, selecting appropriate technologies and implementing the solution as part of a cross-functional and collaborative Scrum team. I strongly believe in product ownership, as I was working within a “You build it, you run it” model.

I have developed reusable and efficient applications and services using various architectural patterns, including microservices, microfrontend, clean architecture and event-driven architecture. I worked with legacy codebase and monoliths as well.

I am a quick learner and dedicated, honest and hard-working software engineer who loves to contribute to a purposeful mission and help deliver quality software.

I love to work in a healthy and friendly environment and as someone who has a strong sense of teamwork, I enjoy being a part of an innovative and collaborative team who would share the same passion for building good products.
