About Me
Hi! My name's Max Juchheim, and I'm a software developer.
My background is in biological science, and I got my first exposure to programming while working as a molecular biologist at the DNA repository Addgene. Addgene tracks its samples with a custom laboratory information management system built in Python, and I began learning that language in order to interface with it.
I found myself becoming more and more interested in computer science, and I also found that the same skills that I had developed in life sciences research (logical thinking, problem solving, and organization, to name a few) serve me well for programming.
While at Addgene, I was given access to the company codebase and was able to make 20+ pull requests that were successfully merged and deployed.
Concurrently, I spent a couple of years studying coding independently and taking online classes. I eventually enrolled in an immersive full-stack web development program where I was able to further develop my skills in programming. I'm actively looking for new opportunities to continue pursuing my passion as a developer!
