Hi, I’m Max Orr. I’m a software engineer with 6+ years of production experience, specializing in Python and Java, with a strong focus on AI integrations and microservices. I’ve built and maintained end-to-end RAG inference pipelines, optimized retrieval and context management, and led benchmarking efforts across multimodal knowledge bases. I thrive on building cloud-native, observable software that scales with teams and product needs. My work combines automation, robust CI/CD, and modular architectures on AWS and Kubernetes, and I enjoy turning complex requirements into reliable, maintainable systems while collaborating closely with product and design.
