Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMax B is a senior software engineer and technical lead with 11 years’ experience designing and operating large-scale backend systems, data platforms, and cloud infrastructure across startups and regulated enterprises. He has a track record of end-to-end ownership—rebuilding authentication services, migrating legacy Java microservices to Node.js, and cutting API latencies from >12s to <300ms by moving to asynchronous, event-driven architectures. Comfortable across the full stack (Node.js, TypeScript, React) and cloud-native tooling (AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform), he excels at pragmatic simplification, performance tuning, and production reliability. He’s delivered high-throughput, lossless ingestion pipelines using Cloudflare Workers, TimescaleDB and ClickHouse, and has guided public-sector teams toward stronger observability and release controls. Based in Sandbach, UK, Max pairs technical leadership with hands-on coding velocity—self-described as a peripatetic code-womble—bringing curiosity from physics and international relations studies to complex engineering problems.
