Summary
Maximilian Koch is a Full Stack Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building and maintaining web applications for life sciences and biomedical research organizations. He has a strong focus on software architecture, code quality, automation, and user experience, and has worked across the stack with Java/Spring Boot, Python, and modern front-ends like React and Angular. His background includes driving feature development and legacy replatforming at institutions such as Novartis, EMBL-EBI, and now Monte Rosa Therapeutics, often taking ownership of entire projects under tight ramp-up timelines.
