I'm Max - a full-stack developer who loves creating things that work and make sense. I get a real kick out of solving tricky problems and turning rough ideas into smooth, working apps. It's not always easy, but that's part of the fun. I've recently transitioned into tech, and I'm driven by curiosity, persistence, and the excitement of building something from nothing.
