Max Wilkinson is a Senior Engineering Manager with 11 years of experience building and scaling regulated FinTech and mobility products from prototype to production. Based in the Detroit area, he blends a startup founder mindset with enterprise rigor to lead metrics-driven experimentation, operational excellence, and high-performing cross-functional teams at Ford Credit. He previously shipped connected-vehicle features and an HTML5 infotainment system deployed to hundreds of thousands of vehicles, combining hands-on full-stack engineering (React, Spring Boot, GraphQL, AWS) with strong practices like TDD and pair programming. Max has a track record of migrating legacy systems to cloud-native architectures, performance tuning services for peak traffic, and mentoring engineers across levels. He pairs product-focused design collaboration with an engineer’s attention to metrics and automation to move fast in regulated environments. Outside of work, his early university projects show a persistent curiosity for practical sensing and mobile integrations, like iBeacon-driven apps and ROV design mentorship.
