I'm Max a curious and driven individual with a passion for exploring ideas, cultures, and perspectives. My days are filled with building startups, working on prototypes, studying history, debating philosophies, and striving to improve myself. Whether I'm deep in a tech project or lost in the pages of a great book, I'm always seeking ways to grow and connect.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To me, Couchsurfing is more than just a way to find a place to stay. It’s about experiencing the world through the eyes of locals and forming genuine connections. I believe the best travel memories come from the people you meet and the stories you share. I’m here to exchange ideas, learn from others, and give back by sharing my own experiences and insights.

Interests

I’m fascinated by how technology is reshaping our world and enjoy discussing its societal impacts. Startups and entrepreneurship are close to my heart, as they embody the thrill of turning ideas into reality. Philosophy and history keep me grounded, offering wisdom and perspective from those who came before us. I’m particularly drawn to the Roman Empire for its enduring influence and lessons in leadership, governance, and ambition. Debates on politics and futurism excite me also. I am especially interested in how AI will shape the future of society, influencing everything from work to human connections.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Co-founding a startup find-gs that connects satellite operators with ground station owners has been a thrilling journey. The project stemmed from inefficiencies I noticed during a European Space Agency mission, and it’s been incredible to see the idea take shape and address real-world challenges.

Teach, Learn, Share
