Hey, I'm Max! 👋
I'm a JavaScript Engineer from Austria 🇦🇹 and I love React and Node. I'm the technical co-founder of Spectrum, where we're making it easier to start, grow and nurture large online communities.
If I'm not coding or tweeting, I'm likely brewing coffee on my espresso machine (I'm a huge specialty coffee geek), exploring the world or skiing. My drug of choice? Fresh, white powder. 🤙
