Max Haponenko is a Lead Software Engineer and product-minded technologist with 8+ years of experience taking products from idea to market. Based in Lviv, Ukraine, he has led end-to-end development, architecture and hiring efforts across startups and scale-ups, most recently moving into a lead role at EPAM after co-founding and architecting products at HESH. He specializes in React/React Native frontends, TypeScript migrations, Nest.js backends and scalable Postgres architectures, and has a track record of rebuilding systems and improving UX consistency across web and mobile. Max blends hands-on coding with product strategy—running sales/onboarding processes and defining core workflows for production planning and task management. He’s also repeatedly built teams and onboarding programs, coaching juniors while codifying QA and frontend standards. That mix of founder grit and disciplined engineering makes him effective at turning ambiguous problems into deliverable, user-focused systems.
