👋 Intro
Hello, world!
Most of what I have acheived thus far in my career is a direct result of the kindness and generosity of others who were willing to help, guide, and teach me. As I get more experience, I not only hope to continue to learn from all of those around me, but to pass on what I have learned.
So please do not hesitate to reach out via email or LinkedIn if anything is incorrect, unclear, or unaddressed.
Most of all, I hope this site will connect me with people with and from whom I can learn and continue to grow as a software engineer.
I look forward to hearing from you!
Sincerely,
Max
