# Max M. > Quality & Product Focused Software Engineer Location: Greater Boston, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/maxm Senior Software Engineer and leader who likes to work on good software. I'm passionate about getting it right, blending quality software development and design practices with an engineering leadership skillset to ensure effective cross-functional collaboration. I've always said, "I'm here to write myself out of a job." What does that mean? Test, document, collaborate, and teach so that I'm never the blocker. I'm always looking for new ways to diversify my knowledge and build new relationships. Outside of work, I love reading, writing, movies, hiking, walking, and spending as much time as I can with my loved ones. ## Work Experience ### Senior Software Engineer @ Hyperproof Jan 2024 – Present - Owned the quality strategy for multiple Hyperproof feature releases, driving high-confidence deployments through robust unit, integration, and end-to-end test coverage. ### Senior Software Engineer @ Legacy Jan 2022 – Jan 2024 | Boston, Massachusetts, United States - Rebuilt the legacy checkout system using BigCommerce, collaborating with external vendors and internal product stakeholders to gather requirements, scope the project, and assess integration capabilities. The new system provided full control over the checkout flow, significantly improving analytics reliability and enabling deeper marketing insights into customer behavior. - Architected and implemented a robust CI/CD pipeline for the marketing site with a React frontend, containerization, Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) deployment, and static content optimization. This overhaul improved load times and reduced downtime from weekly occurrences to less than 0.1% total uptime impact. - Designed and implemented resilient, message-based .NET applications on a containerized AWS infrastructure managed via the AWS CDK IaC solution. This architecture ensured a consistent, centralized audit trail of all order activity, enabling product teams to more accurately analyze order throughput and forecast inventory needs. ### Software Engineer II @ SwagUp Jan 2021 – Jan 2022 Contributed to a specialized “flat” team to design and build .NET microservices, Terraform-based IaC, and React micro-UIs with high test coverage and redundancy. Replaced a legacy Python system lacking automated tests and exhibiting high domain coupling, significantly improving reliability, maintainability, and scalability. ### Software Engineer @ SwagUp Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 Led a multidisciplinary team through the ideation, development, and successful launch of the SwagUp Salesforce App. The release achieved immediate traction, with 80% of first-week adopters maintaining consistent usage, demonstrating strong product-market fit and enhanced integration value for SwagUp/Salesforce joint customers. ### Founder & Principal Engineer @ Cobalt Pig Development, LLC Jan 2017 – Jan 2022 | Durham, NH Ran an independent contracting firm working on the technology underlying multiple projects funded through academic grant money. ### Infrastructure Engineer @ addapptation Jan 2020 – Jan 2021 | Exeter, New Hampshire, United States - Led a “skunk works” initiative to design and implement a Vue.js-based visual editor, addressing a long-standing customer pain point. The solution improved user experience and reduced reliance on manual configurations. - Built and optimized CI/CD pipelines across new and existing projects, transforming deployments from a manual, once-daily process to fully automated continuous delivery. This improved deployment speed, reliability, and developer velocity. - Established a formal Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) for the engineering organization, introducing structured workflows and clear expectations. This initiative fostered cross-functional collaboration between engineering and product teams, reducing internal friction and leading to more predictable feature delivery timelines. ### Software Engineer I @ addapptation Jan 2019 – Jan 2020 | Exeter, NH ### Software Engineer I @ Ground Energy Support, LLC Jan 2017 – Jan 2020 | United States - Responsible for building and maintain the code base of business and scientific software products running on a SciPy stack in conjunction with Django and high-availability PostgreSQL deployments. - Implemented containerization of the Django application using Docker, enabling horizontal scalability and improved reliability through Kubernetes orchestration. - Collaborated with senior Django engineers to rapidly strengthen product knowledge and engineering expertise. ### Associate @ UNH Rines Angel Fund Jan 2019 – Jan 2020 Actively manages a donor-created fund which focuses on private equity and angel investments in entrepreneurial ventures and start-ups.
