Summary
Max Decurtins is a Senior Full-Stack Engineer with a decade of experience building pragmatic, user-focused web applications and APIs, currently working at Solomon Page/Voya after a long tenure as a Senior Applications Developer at Harvard. He specializes in schema-first GraphQL, TypeScript/JavaScript, React, Java, SQL/Oracle, and CI/CD, and has led greenfield API work that bridged legacy student systems to modern SPAs used by staff and students. Max pairs technical craft with strong product sense—creating private NPM packages, introducing team-wide tooling, and routinely collaborating with non-technical stakeholders to ensure features deliver real value. His background in musicology and published music engraving hints at a disciplined attention to detail and narrative-driven design thinking that informs both UX and data modelling.
