Who is Max?

I am a Software Development Engineer, working on FBA at Amazon, and a Computer Science graduate from Queen's University, with a creative and curious mind, a passion for adventure, and a fascination for all technology.

Also a computational thinker, I am experienced in software and web development, hardware repair, agile methodologies, UI/UX design, and iOS app reviewing. As a software engineer by day, I enjoy working with teams and being around like-minded people. With every new role I take on, I strive to communicate effectively and confidently, and lead the team as a creative problem solver.

In my free time, I love to cycle, fly drones, play guitar, ski, hike, travel, and work with cool technology.

Please explore and enjoy my portfolio website, click on things for more information, and email me if you have any questions or comments.
