I'm Max — online as Legion112. I care about how systems actually behave: processes, networks, disks, and the small tools that make a machine feel yours.
At home I build a homelab — networking, NAS plans, Docker on Linux, and Go utilities when the BIOS or the OS gets in the way. At work I'm a Tech Lead focused on backend and infrastructure. I spent years shipping PHP/Symfony; these days Go is what I enjoy writing most.
If you want the unfiltered version of that — experiments, ports, infra notes, and occasional rants — I publish on Telegram:

Completed Educative’s Scalability & System Design for Developers skill path — architecture trade-offs, microservices, system design interviews, and AWS building blocks. One of the most demanding courses I’ve finished, and it changed how I reason about scale.
