Le profil de Max
En tant qu’ingénieur logiciel et designer, je bâti des modèles complexes à l’aide de médiums numériques et tangibles. Constamment en train d’esquisser une idée, tant avec un stylo qu’un écran, je cherche de nouvelles façons de créer des choses inspirantes et interactives. Mon travail est ancré dans une fascination pour les motifs, la géométrie et la simplicité.
J’ai fait une entrevue en anglais pour le blog d’ingénierie du Guardian.

Ingénieur logiciel sénior, je travaille sur la plateforme web, TheGuardian.com. Initialement sur l’équipe controllant le code commercial, puis au sein de l’équipe Dotcom, qui gère la plateforme web dans son ensemble.
Mes réalisation principales sont: la modernisation de code JavaScript, une conversion de Flow à TypeScript; optimisation des images vectiorielles (SVG); visualisations diverses.

With over 10 years of experience building for the web, I have offered services ranging from fully managed websites to transitioning away from legacy platforms. In the last 5 years, I have focussed on bringing a single source of truth and 2D and 3D visualisation.
Designed and built entire websites with news, portfolio and forms. Improved Google page speed insight by 40-60 points on average on consultancy projects, meaning all web pages load fast. This was achieved by specifying better cache rules, optimizing database requests and leveraging distributed CDNs. World location mapping and styling with Leaflet. Integrated online payment with Stripe. Developed JSON APIs in PHP to expose data to collaborators. Conducted surveys in multiple languages and combined the data into live online spreadsheets.

Assuming a role of building information modelling lead (BIM), I developed internal tooling workflow, oversaw data exchange with consultants and advised on technical improvements to the company website.
Built testing tools for key project metrics using Grasshopper, ranging from sustainability to unit mix. Developed solar analysis tools leading to major savings in building envelope performance. Leveraged BIM to deliver project documentation on tight deadlines and trained the team throughout, exceeding targets. Streamlined internal scheduling systems using automation & PowerQuery.

Assuming a role of technical lead, I helped defined and implement data-driven design within the practice, an internal wiki and the public website.
Developed GIS analysis tools for development of a ski resort in Hokkaido. Produced pictures of an alternative 2020 Tokyo Olympic stadium, which was published in The Japan Times and ReThink Tokyo. Built complex digital generative and data-driven models. Taught scripting training sessions to fellow colleagues and improved workflow.
Oversaw the transition of the office server to a faster, more robust and easy to extend infrastructure. The new system further allowed partners to access the office server remotely via VPN, a key feature when presenting projects to oversea clients. Built custom tools that were critical in winning two major projects in Hokkaido. Both relied on making complex spatial analysis expressed as simple and rich diagrams.
