Hi, I'm Max. In 25+ years of digital marketing and technology, I've learned that businesses need someone who understands both the technical side and what actually drives results. Most people specialize in one. I ship all three.
25+ years in digital marketing. Former VP driving 300% agency revenue growth. Scaled digital properties to 28M+ users.
I design, code, and ship web applications — from backend architecture to production deployment. Multiple live products serving real users.
AI integrated where it drives results — in marketing systems, web applications, and business workflows. Production-grade, not demos.

Whether it's building the system, driving the growth, or automating what slows you down — I bring the full stack.
I design, build, and ship production web applications — from SaaS products to business tools to client-facing platforms. Full-stack, from database to deployment.
25+ years of driving growth — from SEO and content strategy to conversion optimization and lead generation. Marketing grounded in fundamentals, not trends.
Practical AI integrated into real workflows — content systems, business automation, customer-facing tools. Built for production reliability and measurable ROI, not novelty.
A few things I've built, shipped, and put into production.
iOS safety app for people who live alone. One tap daily check-in, smart reminders, automatic SMS alerts at 48 hours, and an instant emergency button. Built, shipped, and live on the App Store.
Digital marketing agency I founded for small businesses — SEO, content, social media, web builds, and AI-powered marketing systems. Full-service execution from strategy to delivery.
AI-powered Italian language learning app — pronunciation feedback, real-time AI tutoring, and interactive lessons. Revenue-generating SaaS built on top of LearnItalianPod.com, a content platform I've run for 20 years.
AI content platform for financial advisors — generates SEC/FINRA-compliant articles, social posts, and newsletters. 90% faster than manual production.
LLM search optimization platform — analyzes and scores content for AI-powered search visibility. Built for agencies managing multiple clients.
Production AI chatbot handling lead qualification, customer support, and consultation booking — trained on business-specific data.
AI-powered landing page analyzer — visual analysis, UX issue detection, and conversion recommendations in an executive-ready report.
AI training platform with real-time pronunciation analysis and automated assessment. Teachers save 5+ hours weekly.
Customer call intelligence — transcription, sentiment analysis, automated summaries, and AI-powered Q&A across conversation data.
Open-source course teaching AI development without frameworks — 7 progressive modules covering API calls, memory, tool calling, RAG, streaming, and prompt chaining. Just Python, APIs, and clarity.
Free, open-source JavaScript course for Python developers. Covers fundamentals through React + FastAPI full-stack — the 20% of JS you'll use 80% of the time.
Free tool that tests whether AI crawlers from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Perplexity can actually access your website. Surfaces hidden infrastructure-level blocks most site owners don't know exist.
From marketing strategy to web applications to AI implementation
"Max built us a custom web application and marketing system that completely changed how we operate. He understood both the technical requirements and the business goals — rare combination."
"We brought Max in for SEO and content strategy. Within months our organic traffic doubled. He also integrated AI into our content workflow, which cut production time in half without losing quality."
"Max automated several manual processes that were eating 20+ hours a week of our team's time. The solutions he built actually work in production — no babysitting required."
Every project is different. Here's how we get from conversation to production.
We talk about where you are, where you want to go, and what's getting in the way. No pitch, just an honest assessment.
I'll outline what makes sense — whether that's a web app, a marketing system, AI automation, or a combination.
I build it, ship it, and make sure it works in production. Ongoing support included — I don't disappear after launch.
