ABOUT ME

Hello, I'm Max.

I'm a software engineer based in Linz, 🇦🇹. I love creating things that live on the internet. My goal is to create software that helps people in their daily lives by solving problems they might not even know they have.

I like to fiddle around with the newest technologies and patterns in my private projects.

Interests

When I'm not playing around with one of my side projects, I enjoy spending my time with the following:

  • I participate in the political process in Europe and Austria @Volt;
  • I'm a futurologist;
  • I love watching series and movies;
  • I practice my archery skills;
  • I travel the world and experience different cultures.

TECHNICAL SKILLS

I discovered my love for programming early on and learned a lot of stuff by myself. Later I wanted to dive deeper and attended a university, where I further shaped my skills. I worked in a wide variety of areas from mobile, desktop, IoT, and the web. Nowadays I mostly work on web projects based on Node.JS and TypeScript.

WORK EXPERIENCE

Lead Web Developer

Angular NRWL Azure, GitHub CI/CD Docker C# Nest.js Neo4J Blockchain (Hyperledger Besu)

I work as frontend lead for the the DataSpace Kit, the DSK offers a data sharing solutions for trusted data sharing between various participants. My focus lies on our digital twin solution, our solution allows users to define a custom vocabulary and create a knowledge graph. This knowledge graph can than be manipulated, queried and maintained via various API’s and applications. I develop concepts about how we can advance our stack, develop and maintain new applications and features and contribute at various working groups such as the Self-Description working group of GAIA-X.

Angular Akita RxJS NRWL LESS Gitlab CI/CD Karma Cypress

I work as part of the eOCS project in eurofunk, the project offers a digital command center solution for blue light organizations. The frontend is developed in Angular backed up by a Spring backend. I’m responsible for the realization of features concerning technical aspects as well as user experience, fixing bugs, and guarding code quality in the merge review process. One of my favorite tasks is the creating of custom form controls and reusable components in general. Apart from that, I worked on keeping the software architecture sustainable by modularizing it and enforcing boundaries between those modules. From time to time I’m on-site and analyzing bugs and system performance, one of my main focuses is the rendering performance in the browser.

EDUCATION

University of Applied Science Upper Austria - Campus Hagenberg

Master of Science in Engineering Interactive Media Year Representative
2017-2019

I picked this master study program due to the possibility to focus on projects. I could pick an area that I found interesting and create a project learning a ton of new stuff in the process. This opportunity allowed me to explore technologies that are brand-new and plan the software architecture around it. The most noteworthy projects that I created during the time was a project to create a microservice architecture, a project that realizes collaborative note-taking and my master thesis that explores personal data stores.

University of Applied Science Upper Austria - Campus Hagenberg

Bachelor of Science in Engineering Software Engineering Year Representative
2014-2017

In this bachelor study program, I learned the theory and practice of software engineering. I started with the basics and moved on to specialize in web engineering. What I liked most about the study program was the broad range of topics covered where one could find out what interests him most. One of my bigger web projects that I did for my studies was a biodiversity project for the national park’s association Austria.

Higher Technical Education Institute - Saalfelden

Matura Electrical Engineering and Information Processing
2008-2013

I started my higher education in Saalfelden originally in the area of electrical engineering. User applications only played a side role in my chosen program but through the offered lecture, I quickly discovered my love for programming. As my final project, I choose to do a software project that enables users to create digital notes.
