About Me

Hi, I’m Max

I love helping builders succeed through no-code automation, education, and community. I’m a Staff Builder Advocate focused on Okta Workflows — building tutorials, running community events, and helping developers and IT teams automate identity processes without writing code.

Before Okta, I worked at IBM, Appery, Exadel, and Evite.
