Hi, I'm Max

Maximilian is a cloud consultant based in Würzburg, Germany, working at the intersection of AWS infrastructure and AI.

• Focus: AWS-related infrastructure and AI-driven cloud projects
• Philosophy: secure by default, well-architected, and boring in the best way — infrastructure nobody has to think twice about
• Also: enjoys teaching others about tech and building things together

His path into cloud wasn't exactly linear:

• Studied Statistics and Economics at the Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg
• Built iOS apps for his own startup — the thing that got him hooked on software in the first place
• Found that backend infrastructure and cloud technology was the part he enjoyed most, and made the shift into cloud infrastructure and security
• Taught as an AWS re/Start instructor, helping people earn their first AWS certification
• Today: a cloud consultant working on AWS-focused projects, increasingly mixing in AI-related work

Two things are focused on outside of AWS tech:

• Cycling — his current way to unplug
• DJing — over a decade of experience, though these days it's occasional rather than professional

He currently holds 6 AWS certifications:

• AWS Certified AI Practitioner — Amazon Web Services · Active
• AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Amazon Web Services · Active
• AWS Certified Developer - Associate — Amazon Web Services · Active
• AWS Certified Data Engineer - Associate — Amazon Web Services · Active
• AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate — Amazon Web Services · Active
• AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional — Amazon Web Services · Active

Also, he needs to recertify the following:

• AWS Certified Security - Specialty — Amazon Web Services · Re-certifing
