Description

I am Max van Anen, a passionate full-stack software engineer who translates complex challenges into innovative, scalable solutions. With over 20 years of experience, I support companies through my sole proprietorship, Maxzilla Consultancy, in achieving their digital goals.

I have expertise in technologies such as React, Next.js, Kotlin, and AWS, and combine this with a practical and solution-oriented approach. Whether it's building a workforce management application or migrating a legacy system to a modern tech stack, I deliver software that works, performs, and makes an impact.

For me, software development is about more than just functionality; it's about collaboration, simplicity, and solutions that add value. I stand for quality and enjoy working with clients who are looking for sustainable digital growth.
