About Me
My name is Josh Max and I'm a Software Developer by trade, but I have a bunch of other hobbies and passions that come in handy from time to time. I usually spend my time stargazing, traveling to new places (usually with my trusty camera in hand), messing around in my lab, volunteering on a project, or putting Linux on something that I shouldn't. Right now I work at Boeing for my day job, but I'm also in charge of the Sinuous Technologies venture and the OUT | POST: a collaborative hackerspace in the Sumner industrial district. Inquiring minds are always welcome to visit me by the Ursae Majoris observatory.
