Background

About Max Allan-Smith

As a junior full-stack software engineer and a recent graduate of Makers Academy, I have a passion for building functional applications that tackle real-world challenges. At Makers, I learned how to use various technologies and frameworks, such as JavaScript, ReactJS, C#, SQL, NoSQL, JEST, Express, NodeJS, Ruby, and RoR, to create user-friendly and responsive web and desktop solutions. Some of the projects that I am proud of are:"Acebook", a Facebook clone that showcases my skills in ReactJS, MongoDB, and JEST;"Personal Planner", an app that helps users track and plan their days, using Ruby, Express, RSpec, and PostresSQL; and "Trade Master Pro", a personal project that is a POS desktop application for Windows, built with C#, Microsoft SQL Server, Dapper, and Entity Framework. You can find links to these projects on my personal website or on my LinkedIn profile. When I'm not coding, I enjoy playing guitar as a creative outlet and a way to unwind and re-focus. Playing guitar also keeps my mind active and positively passive. I have ambitions of becoming a senior software developer/engineer with big companies like Facebook, Google, Twitter, Spotify, or Monzo. I thrive in team environments where collaboration is key, and I'm confident that I can make a valuable contribution to any organisation that values teamwork, creativity, and pushing boundaries.
