Senior Frontend Engineer
Two decades of building for the web. I still lose track of time doing it.
I'm Max Bida. I work at the intersection of frontend engineering, web architecture, and marketing technology. Over the last two decades, I've helped agencies, startups, and global technology companies build digital experiences that are easier to use, easier to maintain, and easier for teams to evolve over time.
Selected work
Real projects, real impact.
Current Website
A place to think out loud about frontend engineering, share my work, and build something that reflects how I approach the web.
Frontend System Improvements at Dataminr
Inherited a complex marketing technology platform and spent three years making it simpler, faster, and easier to maintain.
What I do
Practical frontend and web systems work.
Frontend Development
Building frontend applications that are fast, reliable, and easy to maintain long after launch.

How I do it
Thoughts on frontend development.
Frontend Systems Over Frameworks
The framework matters less than how you think about the problem.
How I Actually Use AI in My Frontend Workflow
AI tools haven't replaced how I think about code — but they've changed how much time I spend on the parts that don't require thinking.
Let's talk
Good work starts with a conversation.
I'm currently open to new opportunities and always happy to talk about frontend engineering, web systems, and building for the web.
