About
Hi, I’m Max.
I am a 25 year-old computer scientist with a proclivity towards curiosity. I have had varied experiences in terms of education and work. At NC State University I studied physics and piano. For the past few years I have been working in personal health care. I have been creating tools and small applications while in this field. I have developed proficiency in Python and SQL through completing the Google Cybersecurity course as well as several credited university courses. Additionally, I’ve been motivated to go beyond what was required of me through self-directed learning. Many of my projects have been personal, revolving around making my work more automated or easier, but I have a few I’ve done in service of employers. You can see my projects on the main page. Coding has become a passion of mine and I am currently looking for work within the Information Security field. Other main interests of mine are building PCs, philosophy/spirituality (you can read my digital soapbox on the Writings tab), ancient history, and languages.
