About

Hi, I'm Max! ๐Ÿ‘‹ I'm a Software Engineer with 18+ years of experience, passionate about building fast, reliable tools and solving complex system architecture challenges. Currently, my main focuses are: ๐Ÿฆ€ Open Source: Developing EFx, a blazing-fast template engine built in Rust. ๐Ÿš€ Micro-SaaS: Actively exploring the path of mass micro-entrepreneurship. I'm building, experimenting, and launching multiple software services to learn and find my perfect niche as an indie maker. โœ๏ธ Tech Blogging: Sharing my engineering journey, technical deep-dives (mostly Rust, PHP, and JS), and thoughts on clean architecture across my blogs. I love connecting with fellow indie hackers, supporting cool dev tools, and discussing code. Feel free to reach out on X/Twitter or check out my GitHub!
