Hi, I'm Maxime.
I've spent over 17 years building products from the ground up, used by millions.
I think about business as much as I think about code.
I understand the problem, plan the approach, build the product, and scale it as it grows.
I now run Magamo to bring that experience to companies that need it.
What it's like to work with me.
Calm under pressure
When timelines shift, deployments break, or priorities change overnight, I stay steady. Clear heads solve problems. Panic creates new ones.
Clear communicator
I make technical complexity understandable, whether I'm speaking to engineers, founders, directors, senior executives or investors. No guesswork, just clarity.
Ownership
I take responsibility for the outcome, not just my part of it. Even when that means adapting to new constraints, shifting priorities, or stepping into unfamiliar territory.
Intentional
No spaghetti code, no vibe coding. Every line has a reason to exist. I write code that's readable, maintainable, and easy to build on.
Comfortable anywhere.
Where I've worked
From boardrooms to factory floors to building sites. I've pitched to investors, worked side-by-side with hardware manufacturers, and assembled equipment on my knees in the middle of a live operation.
How I adapt
The work isn't always glamorous and the office isn't always quiet. I'm comfortable navigating different stakeholders, cultures, time zones, working styles, and environments.
Here's where I've worked and delivered:
San Francisco, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, New York, Lima
London, Paris, Lyon, Cannes, Nice, Geneva, Cyprus, Luxembourg
Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Lebanon
Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Singapore
