About Myself

I'm Max Antonucci, a front-end developer from Connecticut. I work at SeeClickFix, a civic tech app that lets citizens report local issues to municipal governments. I also enjoy writing, reading, boxing, video games, and escaping our shared physical reality to a realm of pure energy. Then doing some more reading.

If you want to follow me in a non-creepy way, you can check me out on Github, on Codepen, on Twitter, or follow my writing with my RSS feed.
