Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMax Kaehn is a senior software engineer with 7+ years at high-scale companies and a multi-decade history of designing cross-platform C++ architectures that bridge Win32 and Unix variants. Currently focused on Android infrastructure and developer productivity at Google, he blends systems-level expertise (Bazel, C++, Go, Python) with deep practical knowledge of build systems, filesystems, and platform idiosyncrasies. His background includes low-level Windows driver work, POSIX/NT abstractions, and web-facing systems, making him adept at untangling thorny interoperability and deployment problems. A fast learner who thrives in early-stage, infrastructure-focused roles, he pairs rigorous documentation habits with hands-on coding and a penchant for pragmatic tooling that improves developer velocity. Off the clock he’s a reader, gamer and Maine Coon wrangler—traits that hint at patience, curiosity and a calm, Zen-like approach to complex debugging.
