In case it still wasn't clear, my name is Max.
I'm from Chicago.
I studied Computer Engineering with a minor in Technology and Management at UIUC.
At the end of this month, I'm joining krea.ai as a Software Engineer to help create new creative tools.
In my free time I workout (currently enjoying yoga + running), take photos, work on whatever visual thing has my attention at the moment (currently projection mapping), go to concerts, meditate, and scroll on my phone.
I'm pretty bad at writing about myself.
Reach out to me on email, instagram, twitter, github, linkedin, youtube, or tiktok.
