Hey there,
I'm Max, a data and ML literate software engineer with an academic background in Physics, Sociology, and Technology Management.
I'm productive in Python, Rust, and JS/TS and dabble in Haskell and C++.
I love open source, care about all things dev tools, and built a few during my time at appliedAI:
- lakeFS-spec, a Python filesystem for the lakeFS data lake,
- nnbench, a PyTest like framework for benchmarking ML models, and
- jobq, a cluster workflow management and scheduling tool.
Recently, I wrapped up a batch at Recurse Center where I got into systems, distributed, and lower level computing and taught myself Rust from zero to production contributions (mostly ruff, some uv).
The Transfer Entropy Toolbox is a scientific computing and information theory project that I'm (as of May '25) preparing for publication with researchers at the German Aerospace Center.
This repo, as well as my OSS work are pinned below.
