Summary
Maxwell Krause is a Senior Software Engineer with over a decade of experience helping startups and growth-stage companies modernize stacks, scale systems, and ship reliable web products quickly. He specializes in TypeScript/JavaScript full‑stack development, GraphQL (including federation), auth and infra tooling, and performance tuning, and has led architecture transitions from monoliths to microservices across healthcare, e‑commerce, and high‑traffic crypto platforms. Maxwell combines hands‑on engineering with technical leadership—running federated GraphQL APIs for HIPAA audits, integrating gRPC with complex C++ heuristics for scheduling, and standing up SaaS infra with PlanetScale, Vercel, and Clerk. Based in Charleston, SC, he consults as a fractional tech lead or senior engineer and mentors aspiring developers, teaching programming basics locally. An uncommon asset is his comfort bridging low‑level systems (gRPC/C++) with modern web stacks to deliver scalable, auditable solutions.
