Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMax A is a repeat founder and CTO who blends hands-on engineering with product-led fintech and AI experience, currently building Zuba, a stablecoin-native cross-border payments platform backed by multiple unicorn founders. He cut his teeth at Paysend from age 13, shipping the company’s first crypto wallet and a credit-building product, and later built a RAG evaluation framework at Squirro now used by institutions like the Bundesbank, ECB and Bank of England. A Royal Holloway computer science graduate who studied under Vladimir Vovk, Max also founded a Google-backed developer community at 18 that quickly produced a student-led project with viral GitHub traction. He contributes pragmatic front-end design-system work in open-source projects and combines rapid product delivery with rigorous ML-informed evaluation techniques.

Contributions summary:Max's contributions primarily revolve around the development of design system components for the "noodle" project. They implemented several UI atoms and molecules, including `TimeSince`, `ModuleCard`, `EditedNoteCard`, and `ModuleTag`, as well as the `StarButton`. The commits demonstrate a focus on building reusable UI elements using React, Storybook, and potentially a design system like stitches (based on the `styled` import and presence of design system files). The work also includes testing these components using testing-library.
