Senior🎓
Top SchoolMax Ovtsin is a Co-Founder and CTO with 11+ years of hands-on engineering experience across mobile, web, backend and developer infrastructure, now building a Model-as-a-Service for finance and an aviation-focused platform. He spent nearly six years at Meta shipping Swift at scale, authoring high-performance BUCK build rules and tooling that improved developer feedback loops for apps used by billions. Max thrives on 0→1 chaos—running lean startup teams, tuning infra used by thousands of engineers, and stepping into product or analytics when needed. He contributes to notable open-source work on Facebook’s buck2 build system, particularly around Swift and Apple build rules, and brings compiler- and linker-level experience rarely found in startup CTOs. Based in the UK and a private pilot, he applies rapid feedback and checklist-driven discipline from aviation to software delivery and is actively looking for industry partners and engineers excited by gnarly scaling problems.
