Hi, I'm Max 👋
Who am I and why am I here?
This is Max and I am excited to be a part of this hackathon dedicated to building projects around Nostr and Lightning. As a Bitcoiner since 2012 and someone who is currently working in the Bitcoin industry, I am passionate about exploring new ways to use technology to improve people's lives and move forward to a decentralised future.
I am a project management expert with experience managing teams and keeping projects on track. I love helping teams stay motivated, organised and focused on delivering quality results on time. I believe that effective project management is the key to building successful products that make a positive impact on people's lives.
Throughout my career, I have worked across various departments, including developers, marketing, business development, customer success, and legal teams. This experience has given me a good perspective on how these departments can work together to deliver great results and achieve a goal together.
In addition to my project management skills, I can also help with designs and marketing. I believe that the design and marketing of a product are just as important as the technical aspects. A well-designed product with effective marketing can make all the difference in the world when it comes to user adoption and success 🔥
I would be excited to be a part of this hackathon and to work with other makers who share the same passion. Together, we can build innovative products that have the potential to change people's lives for the better.
If you are looking for a team member who is reliable, organised and team-oriented, then I would love to hear from you. Let's work together to make a difference in the world of Nostr and Bitcoin and achieve a massive adoption!
How did you get into bitcoin?
Back in 2012 (Wow! 11 years ago already!), I was talking about privacy with a good friend and suddenly started to talk about a new currency which we saw in some place on the internet. We kept silence for 1 minute while our ideas were connecting and jumped into the laptop to search for the magic words “Bitcoin”. Since then, I became addicted to it.
What's something that excites you about the space now?
Difficult to say only one thing but I am personally strongly interested in new applications which use the Nostr protocol together with Lightning. From clients to marketplaces.
What's your spirit animal/star sign?
I will say the ostrich, specially the purple one 😉
My roles & skills 🦄
As a project manager, my role is to oversee all aspects of a project, from planning and execution to monitoring and reporting. I am responsible for ensuring that the project is completed within the designated timeline, budget, and scope while maintaining quality and meeting stakeholder expectations.
Within my skills are communication, leadership, organisation, problem-solving, and adaptability. I normally work as an agile PM however I am not a person who sticks to the framework in a strict manner. I think all teams are different and we need to adapt to ourselves to achieve the goals.
As said before, I have also experience with designs so I am more than happy helping with it.
How can you help others?
I would say absolutely with everything I can. From guiding them making the correct questions to execute tasks of all kinds. I am quite versatile person.
What I'm currently working on 🧑💻
I work as PM for a Bitcoin company. In my free time, I build all types of projects. Bitcoin oriented, finance and art.
What can the BOLT.FUN community help you with right now?
Yes! I know there is a really special group of people here. And I would love to team up with you!
Thank you for reading!
