Max Based

Hey, I'm Max. Belarus issued my passport. The internet raised me, taught me and pays me. Ten years designing products idea to exit, now making my own with AI. I chase the edge of the fields I care about and push it further. The standard is humane excellence: you can feel when software was built with care, same goes for countries. The new world has started on the internet. I'm building it.
