Code builds more than products — it builds problem-solvers.

I'm Max Padverbny,

a US-based mobile & web developer who loves turning ideas into real, usable products.

I build apps that feel smooth, scale to thousands of users, and solve real problems — using React, React Native, Node, and many more.

I didn’t actually start in tech — my background is in Accounting & Finance. Automating spreadsheets with VBA was my first taste of problem-solving through code, and I’ve been hooked ever since. Now, I design and ship mobile + web apps that do the same thing on a bigger scale: save time, reduce friction, and make life easier for people.

Over the past few years, I've:

  • Shipped production apps from concept to launch (mobile + web).
  • Built LLM integrations (OpenAI, Grok, Llama) in Node/Next.js with streaming & tool calling.
  • Designed experiences that are fast, accessible, and a joy to use.
  • Led technical builds for tools that handle everything from supplier sales to delivery management.

When I'm not coding, you'll probably find me outdoors — hiking local trails, paddleboarding, or recharging in the sun.
