Full-stack software engineer — I build products end to end, from client conversation to shipped feature.
I'm Max — a full-stack engineer at SOLIDitech in Cape Town, where I take new features from client request to production on a platform that automates how businesses run. Outside work I'm building FinPlanner, an AI-powered financial platform, while crafting digital spaces for people I love. I also spent two years running UCT's Surf Club — I do my best thinking in the water.
01Where I've been
Full-stack development on SOLIDitech's end-to-end platform that automates how businesses run. I take new features from client request to production — backend, frontend, and the conversations in between.
Led the club end to end as Chairperson — events, finances, membership, and growth — after a year keeping its books balanced and transparent as Treasurer.
One-on-one Mathematics and IT tutoring for high-school students — meeting each one where they were and getting them past where they thought they'd stop.
02Selected work
An AI-powered financial platform.
Designed and built end to end by me — one developer, with partners on the venture. More soon.
The web home of Humboldt Trading — food sourcing, development, manufacture and trade, built on 45+ years of experience. Designed, built and shipped for a real client with a real deadline.
