About Max

Hi! I'm Max Bytefield, a full-stack developer who believes every bug is just an undocumented feature waiting to be discovered. I spend my days crafting clean code, my evenings debugging mysterious production issues, and my nights dreaming in TypeScript.

The Origin Story

My journey into development started with a broken computer and too much curiosity. After accidentally deleting System32 (we've all been there, right?), I decided it was time to actually understand how these magical boxes work.

Fast forward through countless Stack Overflow tabs, gallons of coffee, and one very patient rubber duck—I've become a full-stack developer with a passion for creating elegant solutions to complex problems. My specialty? Making APIs that don't make other developers cry.

When I'm not crafting code, you'll find me contributing to open source, writing about my development adventures, or explaining to my non-tech friends that "I don't fix printers."

What I Bring to the Table

Full-Stack Development

From React frontends to Node.js backends, I build end-to-end solutions that scale. TypeScript is my love language.

API Architecture

RESTful or GraphQL, I design APIs that are intuitive, documented, and actually enjoyable to use.

Technical Writing

Translating complex tech concepts into clear, engaging content that developers actually want to read.

Open Source Advocate

Active contributor and maintainer. I believe the best code is shared code.
