Background

About Max Juchheim

Welcome to my LinkedIn! I'm a software developer with a background in biological science, and I got my first exposure to programming while working as a molecular biologist at the DNA repository Addgene. Addgene tracks its samples with a custom laboratory information management system built in Python, and I began learning that language in order to interface with it. I found myself becoming more and more interested in computer science, and I also found that the same skills that I had developed in life sciences research (logical thinking, problem solving, and organization, to name a few) serve me well for programming. While at Addgene, I was given access to the company codebase and was able to make 20+ pull requests that were successfully merged and deployed. Concurrently, I spent a couple of years studying coding independently and taking online classes. I eventually enrolled in an immersive full-stack web development program where I was able to further develop my skills in programming. I've since spent several years working as an applications developer for InterSystems, Corp, a company that produces electronic medical records software for healthcare providers. There I worked on several exciting projects, including a new unified record of patient care events, a system to track the continuity of patient care between such events, and a clinical timeline for viewing all relevant patient data chronologically. I'm actively looking for new opportunities to continue pursuing my passion as a developer! Skills include: Python, Ruby, Javascript, HTML5, CSS, R, Django, Rails, SQL (postgresql), MongoDB, Express, Node, Mongoose, Ember, Handlebars, Bootstrap, version control (Github), Operating Systems (Windows, Ubuntu 16.04, MacOS), text editors (Sublime Text, Atom), command line interface, AWS S3, MSOffice Suite, Trello, and Atlassian Jira
