Summary
Max Philippov is an independent contractor and seasoned front-end engineer with 10 years of experience building user-focused web applications and secure, anonymous content systems for NGOs. He has led engineering at Privetmaket, delivering a Three.js and canvas-based furniture editor while working directly with leadership, and modernized UI stacks at DeltaChat by removing heavy dependencies and implementing custom image tooling. Comfortable as a solo maintainer and client-facing developer, he has repeatedly owned large projects across React, Node/Express, PHP/Symfony and legacy stacks like Knockout and Backbone. Based in Serbia, Max blends practical engineering with an academic grounding in computer software engineering, and his career shows a preference for pragmatic, security-minded solutions rather than flashy boilerplate. An early adopter of isomorphic patterns and AST-driven tooling, he brings both deep front-end craftsmanship and systems-level thinking to product work.
