Hi, I'm Max.
I'm a Computer Engineering student at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. I build web and desktop applications, and I'm especially interested in software that connects to physical systems.
I'm looking for software engineering internships. I'm contributing to rocket operations software and getting started on hardware-in-the-loop testing with UT's Student Space Technology Association.
Projects
A learning platform I've been building, rocket operations software I'm contributing to, and a new hardware-in-the-loop testing project.
Canvas V5
An alternate Canvas interface built around a local sync engine, with normalized data in IndexedDB and cloud sync for MCP access.
About the projectAscent
Rocket operations and telemetry software. I've contributed multiple merged PRs while onboarding to the team.
About the projectGLASS Operator
Hardware-in-the-loop testing for our rocket DAQ. Team requirements and the system schematic are complete; implementation is beginning.
About the projectExperience
Aminara
At Aminara, I've worked on Ami, an AI companion application. My work has included conversational interfaces, persistent memory, local conversation storage, and synchronization across devices, along with tools for evaluating AI behavior.
UT Dementia Clinic
As a volunteer, I worked with an older driving simulator used for dementia research. I investigated undocumented software and libraries and developed driving scenarios to support reaction-time research.
Get in touch
I'd love to work on software where understanding the underlying system matters—whether that's a web application, a testing tool, or an operator interface.
