About

Hi, I’m Max. I build things: software mostly, but also music and sculpture. My day work is engineering. I design the foundations teams build on, and lately I’ve been deep in AI, making apps with LLMs, vision, and agents that actually do something useful. I work in React, TypeScript, and Node, run my own contracting company (Greatwhale Solutions), and move easily between codebases, clients, and countries. I’m curious, trilingual (English, Russian, Hebrew), and I care as much about how a thing feels to use as whether it runs. If you’re making something ambitious, I’d love to hear about it.
