Founded in 2020, Setyl is a cloud-based management platform. It gives you full visibility and control over your IT assets, software applications, licences, assigned users, administrators, vendors and spend in one centralised register. I took an active part in the development of third-party integrations, designed and implemented key functionality, improved the performance of several resource-intensive pages and proposed small and frequent releases.

Founded in 2015, KYKLO provides B2B E-commerce and product content solutions to manufacturers and distributors of technical products. Its Sales Operations Management platform enables any manufacturer or distributor to have an attractive online portal, with integrated product information and B2B-specific processes to serve its customers better and grow its visibility. While leading a team of seven, I conducted code reviews, mentored colleagues and held pair programming sessions with every member, especially the newly onboarded ones. I also took an active part in the development of the search service, designing it to handle high load in the future. Additionally, I contributed to other key functionality. In June 2024, KYKLO was acquired by Epicor.

Fabien Legouic said, "Maxim is an experienced developer, with a keen sense of qualitative software engineering. He has collaborated with us successfully to build a new product indexing and aggregation, which is widely used in our multi-tenant E-commerce and PIM. Maxim has helped us significantly improve response speed for both our E-commerce and PIM search and our facets filtering engines, thanks to quality work with ElasticSearch. Maxim also successfully integrated an advanced semantic analyzer, allowing for spell-checking and correction using a custom set of dictionaries."

Founded in 2012, Pathgather is a learning experience platform designed for enterprises. While many resources are spread across various applications, websites and systems, Pathgather brings them together in one place, simplifying the learning process. I was responsible for maintaining the existing codebase and implementing new features. I dedicated time to the content-importing parts and simplified their architecture. Additionally, I improved the relevance of search results. I mostly worked on back-end systems. In April 2019, Pathgather was acquired by Degreed.

Founded in 2014, Blueprint Income is building a better way to save and plan for retirement by creating the digital personal pension. Unlike traditional pensions, it is fully customisable and available to anyone. While leading a team of five, three of whom I onboarded, I designed and implemented key functionality. I also developed a custom algorithm to calculate the difference in years between dates. I contributed to both back-end and front-end systems. In February 2021, Blueprint Income was acquired by MassMutual.

Founded in 2013, Hipflat is a real estate platform that helps people find homes and make informed investment decisions. I was responsible for maintaining the existing codebase and implementing new features. I dedicated time to the listings crawler, optimising it and simplifying its architecture. Additionally, I mentored colleagues and communicated with the sales team to understand business requirements better. In October 2020, Hipflat was acquired by Dot Property Group.
