Hi, I’m Max from Hamburg/Germany. I’m coding since 2012 and I’m currently working for Kubermatic as a Senior Software Engineer working on cloud things.

In general I’m interested in all kinds of computer science from operating systems to web development.

Some notable parts of my career:

• From July 2017 until January 2019 I was an active NeosCMS core team member where I worked mostly on the React/Redux user interface for editors which was one of the first WYSIWYG CMS.
• I’ve created the editorconfig-checker in 2017 as an open source project and still maintain it, fortunately not alone anymore.
• I’ve worked 2.5 years at D2iQ (formerly Mesosphere) on DKP (D2iQ Kubernetes Platform) on the UI part which included a heavy NodeJS backend.
• I’ve worked 1.5 years at Bardeen on their no-code automation platform as a full-stack developer.
• I’ve created Profile-Peek which is tool to help find profiles of counter-strike players on different platforms. (Rust, Elm, JavaScript, Browser Extension)
