in permanent beta: learning, improving, evolving

Welcome to My Digital Space

Hey there! I'm Max — an economist with a lifelong passion for technology, hands-on problem solving, and continuous learning. Long before it became part of my professional toolkit, I was exploring code, building home servers, and automating anything I could. This site is where I share personal projects, ideas, and experiments — always in permanent beta.

Areas of Interest & Projects

🖥️ Homelab & Infrastructure

Designing and running a personal server environment with Proxmox, Docker, NAS, and self-hosted services — balancing performance, privacy, and fun.

🤖 AI & Machine Learning

Exploring applied AI and ML through side projects — from automating product content to early warning systems and beyond.

👨‍💻 Software Development

Building tools and automations with a focus on clean, maintainable code — mostly Python, TypeScript, and web technologies.

🔧 DevOps & Automation

Experimenting with CI/CD, containerization, and infrastructure as code to simplify complex workflows and learn by doing.
