Maksym (Max) Ivashchenko

I'm a Senior Software Developer with 10 years of experience building production web applications. My career has taken me from Kyiv to the U.S., delivering software for enterprise clients like Citibank, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, and Demandbase, SaaS platforms like Yotpo, and early-stage startups where I shipped products from zero to launch.

I specialize in designing scalable frontend architectures, leading cross-functional engineering teams, and building real-time systems with WebSockets and video conferencing. I've executed framework migrations with zero downtime, built custom component libraries from scratch, and delivered complex interactive applications — from visual workflow builders handling 700+ elements to terminal emulators running in the browser.

I write about what I'm learning, share the projects I'm working on, and document the lessons that helped me grow as an engineer. If you're building something interesting, I'd love to hear about it.
