About Me
Frameworks change. Good engineering doesn't.
I'm Max Bida — a senior frontend engineer based in Seattle. I started writing HTML at a small agency in Ukraine, and somewhere along the way I fell completely in love with building for the web. I still am. Over the years I've worked across agencies, startups, and large tech companies. The technologies and industries have changed, but what energises me hasn't: turning something complex into something fast, clean, and genuinely useful.
My Story
Every engineer has a resume. Some have a portfolio. Many contribute to open source. But none of those fully answer a simple question:
Who is this person?
A resume tells us where someone worked. A portfolio shows what they built. GitHub reveals how they write code. LinkedIn summarizes accomplishments. None of them explains how a person thinks.
This story exists to answer that question. Like every person, it is incomplete. It will evolve. New chapters will be added. Old conclusions may change. That is intentional. Because people grow. The story grows with them.
This story was written to be read — but it was also designed to be explored.
