Bringing ideas to life through technical mastery

Hi, I’m Maxim. I create a variety of solutions ranging from Python automation scripts to advanced embedded systems and web applications.

Education

Quite frankly, I got my education mostly from YouTube and Coursera, and also by using Perplexity and Google. Nevertheless, here are the degrees that I have:

Secondary Education

Rubtsovsk Agrarian-Industrial College

Computer Systems and Clusters

9/2016 - 7/2020

Bachelor of Computer Science

Altai State Technical University

Major in Informatics and Computational Devices

9/2020 - 7/2024

Work Experience

Aside from the years I spent working on my own projects, this is the only formal role I've held:

Unpaid Intern

Company: Bazium

Learned to make websites using Bazium website builder;
Learned the cold outreach technique;
Became familiar with YAMM (Yet Another Mail Merge);
Developed localization tool compatible with Bazium-built websites (on my own initiative).

1/2025 - 3/2025

Web Projects

Here are several projects I've developed using five different tech stacks.

Blueberry Loom

Next.js Project

A cryptographically reinforced form builder that utilizes ML-KEM-1024, as well as the "ChaCha20 + Serpent-256 CBC + HMAC-SHA3-512" authenticated encryption scheme to enable end-to-end encryption for enhanced data protection.

Open Web App

Next.js Templates

These aren't flashy web apps, but simple websites focused on delivering practical solutions to businesses.

Shining Yam

A fictional restaurant landing page created using Next.js, Namer UI, and Aceternity UI. A significant portion of the project code was generated by Perplexity and Le Chat.

Shakhor

A fictional electronics store landing page created using Next.js, Perplexity, Namer UI, Aceternity UI, and HextaUI. I admit this template is a bit weird.

Embedded Projects

That's what I used to make before I got into web development.
