I’m Makss, a technical IT professional with a background in computer science, programming, and business analysis. By day, I work in tech—solving problems, building systems, and making sense of complex data. But my interests extend far beyond the digital world.
I have backgrounds in Latvia, Germany, and Switzerland, and I consider myself European at heart. My passion for community, urban development, and railways keeps me engaged with how people connect—both digitally and in the physical world. Cities should work for people, not just cars, and I believe in shaping environments that foster interaction and sustainability.
Animal rights activism is a core part of my life. I believe in a world where non-human animals are treated with dignity, and I work actively to challenge industries that exploit them. I also enjoy improvisation theater, where the thrill of unscripted moments reminds me that creativity thrives in spontaneity.
Music is another constant in my life—I play the ukulele and piano, finding joy in both structured melodies and free-form expression. Whether it’s a well-planned campaign, an impromptu performance, or a late-night coding session, I’m drawn to the balance between structure and flexibility.
Ultimately, I’m motivated by building things—whether it’s better software, stronger communities, or a more just world. If you’re interested in technology, activism, or the intersections of both, I’d love to connect.
