+<h2>About Max</h2>
+<p>Hi, I’m Max. I grew up in Seattle, USA where my passion for technology and programming first ignited, and I’ve loved learning new things ever since. I moved to Montréal, Canada to study Computer Science and Physics at McGill, then headed to Ottawa to work as a software engineer at Cisco Systems for three years. In 2023, I wanted to learn more so I started a new adventure in Amsterdam to pursue my Master’s in Software Engineering at the University of Amsterdam. I am currently doing research focusing on experimental/exploratory programming environments.</p>
+
+<p>When I’m not coding, you’ll find me on the football pitch, tennis court, or out running. I also love tinkering with creative and engineering (hardware) projects.</p>

+Max is excited to share some updates from his journey with [CCI](https://cci-research.nl/) over the past few months.
+
+One of the highlights was the publication of the paper, “Bridging Incremental Programming and Complex Software Development Environments” ([DOI](https://doi.org/10.1145/3689488.3689991)), which he had the privilege of presenting at [SPLASH 2024](https://2024.splashcon.org/) ([PAINT](https://2024.splashcon.org/home/paint-2024)) in Pasadena, California, last October. He attended the conference alongside Chris, Damien, and Thomas, who also delivered their own presentations ([post](https://cci-research.nl/post/splash-conf-2024/)). Sharing his work and receiving insightful feedback from so many brilliant minds marked a significant milestone.
+
+On the academic front, Max is in the final stages of his master's thesis and is preparing for his defense later this month. Additionally, he recently began working part-time as a Student Research Assistant at CCI to continue the research from my thesis.
+
+He looks forward to building on these experiences as he continues his work with CCI.
