01 // BUILDING THINGS THAT SHIP
MAX
INDEPENDENT DEVELOPER · PRODUCT BUILDER · E-COMMERCE OPERATOR
I build web apps, write Python tools for odd optimization problems, and run an international brick sculpture store. No thought-leadership posts, no buzzwords, no pitch decks. Just working software.
CURRENTLY WORKING ON: Route solver updates for wowlegacypath.com · Python scripts for LAminifigs · AI trading UIs
02 // ABOUT ME
Software Developer & Product Builder.
Hey, I’m Max. I studied IT Engineering at Universidade Autónoma de Lisboa and like taking projects from a blank file all the way to real users.
I founded LAminifigs.com from scratch and grew it past 1,000+ orders worldwide — writing the custom Shopify Liquid code, automating stock checks in Python, running the Google and Meta ads, and handling supplier logistics myself.
I use AI-assisted development as part of my daily workflow, from exploring unfamiliar APIs and debugging to rapid prototyping. The goal isn’t to generate more code; it’s to spend less time on repetitive work and more time solving the actual problem.
Languages & Core
Python, TypeScript, JavaScript, SQL
Web & Frameworks
React, Next.js, FastAPI, Flask, Three.js
E-Commerce & Systems

03 // SELECTED WORK
Built from scratch. Running in production.
01 // PROGRESSION SOLVER
wowlegacypath.com
A 60-hour engineering rabbit hole to avoid wasting time grinding in World of Warcraft. Calculates optimal milestone routes across characters using a branch-and-bound solver right in the browser — no addon or login required.
02 // GLOBAL E-COMMERCE STORE
LAminifigs
An international store selling detailed 3D animal building block sculptures and architectural sets (1,000+ orders on the main store, 400+ orders and 4.8★ on Etsy). Built the code, SEO, ad campaigns, and operations myself.
03 // WHERE IT STARTED
mxfax Blog
My first Python web app built with Flask, SQLAlchemy ORM, and WTForms. Shows the progression from monolithic server-rendered Python to full-stack web apps and interactive 3D interfaces.
