Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMax Tyrrell is a Senior Software Engineer and former founder with 10 years’ experience building product-focused systems and leading engineering teams from Cape Town. He co-founded and scaled Dado from zero to a profitable nine-person outstaffing business and successfully negotiated an acqui-hire to Yoco, then continued as a senior engineer across fintech and startup contexts. Technically versatile, he has shipped full-stack products including a statically generated Next.js front end and a Rails/Postgres backend for a restaurant ordering platform that was sold to Yoco. Comfortable at the intersection of product, business and engineering, he prioritizes pragmatic solutions that drive outcomes rather than perfect architecture for its own sake. Outside formal roles he describes himself as “cruising through cyberspace,” hinting at a curious, exploratory approach to new tech and problem-solving.
