I’m Max. I’m a computer science student at York University in Toronto, and I build software end to end.
What I actually like doing is AI. I’ve spent a lot of time deep in it: using models every day, pulling them apart to see how they work, and figuring out how to make them do something useful. It’s the part of the field I can’t put down.
Where I want to end up is research. I want to work on powerful models themselves, build them, modify them, and find the best way to use them as agents. My bet is graphs: models wired together so they plan, check their own work, and build real systems instead of one model guessing at one prompt. That thread runs through everything I’m making right now.
I care about open source too. The interesting work is happening in the open, and I’d rather stack open models I can run and change than rent a black box I can only poke at.
Right now I’m building Sequence, a canvas that turns system architecture into a checkable graph, and Project Brain, an internal knowledge base at SCHWAI. That second one is real DevOps and MLOps work: standing up the backend, the ingestion workers, and the open-source models that read the company’s own data.
Before this I shipped production features at Neo Financial, a bank serving more than a million customers. That’s where I learned what “it works on my machine” costs when the machine is someone’s actual money.
