About me
Hey, I'm Maxim. I’m a software engineer based out of Toronto working in cloud + fintech. Here's a bit on me:
- Big fan of open-source and building for the web. I've worked on stuff in the JavaScript, Ruby, and Elixir ecosystems
- Conceptualized & led TypeScript integration, data validation changes, and other design initiatives for fintech systems
- Very full-stack. I've focused on UI/UX, accessibility, internationalization, performance optimization, testing, and various DevOps/infra tasks, for both front and back-ends
Away from my keyboard, I'm into hiking, climbing, and photography. My weekends are filled with board games, thrifting, and losing myself in music, sci-fi books, and films. If you have work opportunities, collaboration ideas, or just want to say hi, feel free to reach out!
