Hi, I'm Max Rantil👋
About me 👋
I'm a dedicated and resilient developer with diverse professional experience that ranges from youth work to photographer. Born in Sweden and now based in Helsinki, Finland. When I'm not developing, I'm usually found sailing, reading up on the latest Bitcoin trends, or engaged in various outdoor activities.
How did you get into bitcoin?
I think it all started as the meme: "Orange coin good, number go up."
What's something that excites you about the space now?
The potential of the Lightning Network for instant microtransactions involving AI is incredibly exciting. This advancement could revolutionize AI accessibility and intercommunication among AIs.
What's your spirit animal?
Though it's not strictly an animal, I would choose the sailboat as my spirit "animal". Much like sailing, my journey through life involves adjusting to new challenges and navigating through unfamiliar waters with resilience and adaptability.
My roles & skills 🦄
As part of product teams, I take on roles where I can leverage my programming and problem-solving abilities. I have a strong proficiency in C, Python, and JavaScript, as well as experience in server setup and network administration. I am adept at both frontend and backend development, using frameworks such as React and Node.js.
How can you help others?
With my diverse range of experiences, I can assist others in a myriad of ways. My programming skills and experience with server setup and network administration can be helpful for those working on technical projects. I can also provide insight into project management, given my experience leading various software development projects. My time as a youth worker and support worker has cultivated my empathy, patience, and adaptability, traits I can bring to bear in any team-oriented tasks or initiatives.
What I'm currently working on 🧑💻
I am presently immersed in exploring the various technical aspects of Bitcoin. I am documenting my exploration journey on my website https://rantil.xyz.
What can the BOLT.FUN community help you with right now?
At present, I'd appreciate the opportunity to connect with individuals who have experience in Bitcoin. I'd also welcome the chance to participate in more team-oriented programming projects or initiatives that could challenge my current skill set and provide opportunities for further growth. Also, any pointers on the ins and outs of the tech industry from seasoned professionals would be greatly appreciated.
