Hi, I’m Max!
I accelerate the value delivery of software teams so that they can meet their purpose.
Teams I work with utilize methodologies of continuous delivery, extreme programming, and domain-driven design to improve the delivery rate of valuable software and validate their product assumptions a lot quicker.
Let’s get in contact if you are searching for team leadership and/or help with scalable software architecture.
Enterprise software needs to implement complex business processes and should be flexible to change if requirements change.
I help to define and model software services or packages to break complex systems down into independent and encapsulated units.
Together, we analyze the existing software and identify pain points or things that are hard to change/maintain.
I support the conception of enhancements of these parts and provide a migration path and timeline that fits the need of the product.
I support the development team with a hands-on mentality and pragmatic clean code approaches using JavaScript/Typescript, PHP, and/or Java.
Analyzing, documenting, and breaking down business requirements into small work packages is very important for the success of product development.
I support during feature conception, translate between product and technical teams, coordinate work in and across multi-headed teams and provide well-estimated delivery deadlines. I also serve the team with well organized meetings in an agile workflow. This helps strengthen the team, identifying pain points in processes and improving the overall result of the work.
The structure and communication between people in tech companies are mostly correlated with the architecture and implementation of their software.
Supporting executives with architectural insights, I help to define team structures and to answer the „who should work on what?“ question while maintaining boundaries/responsibilities of the software system and preventing accidental double-work.
Software that is not tested well before going into production is a danger to other related development teams and (more important) to the business itself.
I guide through the setup of static code analysis tools, automated tests on any level (unit, functional, integration, behavioral) and help to find the development and testing workflow that fits best to the team.

Do not hesitate to write me a short message if you are interested in collaborating with me on a project.
Since I'm currently employed, I will forward bigger projects to the agency I'm currently working for.
