About Max

Hi, I'm Max, a 30 year old Senior Frontend Engineer from Rotterdam. My passion for technology started early, driven by a fascination for games, hardware and digital experiences. That curiosity naturally grew into a career in IT where I now focus on building scalable and high-quality web applications.

I live in Rotterdam with my girlfriend Divya and our British Shorthair cat Louie. From here I work on modern frontend architectures with technologies like React, Next.js and TypeScript, often integrating with API-driven backends and headless platforms. I enjoy translating complex technical and product requirements into clear, scalable and maintainable digital solutions, and I care deeply about a smooth developer experience, CI/CD workflows and well-structured component architectures.

Outside of work I enjoy collecting music, DJ’ing in my spare time and riding my Kawasaki Z800 whenever the weather allows. I love discovering new restaurants from casual spots to Michelin-starred kitchens. As a dedicated gamer I am always up for anything from epic WoW adventures to relaxed couch co-op sessions with friends.
