Hey, I'm Max. I'm a security researcher, software developer, and full-time college student at Stevens Institute of Technology

If you check my activity, you'll almost certainly see me contributing to the software I care about. I've created (and actively maintain) several semi-popular open source projects such as HVNC, Scarecrow and VisualSploit to name a few. I'm the #2 contributor to Kon too, which is an amazingly minimal yet powerful coding agent for your terminal. I'd suggest checking it out :)

In order to help pay for my college tuition and expenses, I do security research and hunt for bug bounties at HackerOne. Since late 2025, I've disclosed high-impact vulnerabilities to Netflix, Vercel, Node.js, GitLab, Slack and others, and authored two public CVEs to date.

If you want to support my projects, security research, software development and continued learning, feel free to support me however you see fit.
