About Me

Hi, I'm Max, an aspiring computer engineer. I build and break hardware in both industry and academia.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from ETH Zürich. Afterwards, I spent a year in industry, gathering professional experience with VLSI (digital design and verification) and low-level software engineering.

Starting September 2024, I am pursuing a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering at ETH Zürich with a focus in Computer Engineering. I am expected to graduate in 2026.
