Max Mijatovic
I write code, build interfaces,
and figure out how things work.
How I got here
I always played games and used software, but at some point, I wanted to know how it was actually made. So I just started coding. My first programs were genuinely terrible — but seeing a console window do exactly what I told it was enough to get me completely hooked.
Since then, I've shipped a CSV parser, a terminal Pong clone, a hackathon app for Axpo, and a networking platform that won BadenHackt 2026. Every project taught me something I couldn't learn from a tutorial.
"The real learning happens when you start building from scratch — breaking things, fixing them, and figuring out the actual logic underneath."
- Clean architecture in .NET
- CSS subgrid + container queries
- Supabase & realtime data
Stuff I actually finished
CSV to Diagram
A command-line tool to parse messy CSV files into structured diagram data. Taught me a lot about file handling in .NET.
BadenHackt 2025 · Axpo
Group · 3Built an app for Axpo under strict hackathon time pressure. Designed and shipped end-to-end as a team of three — from problem brief to working product.
BadenHackt 2026 · LinkUp
Group · 3Hybrid event networking — QR code connections, AI icebreakers, smart matching, live admin dashboard. Built as a team of three.
How it's going
The very beginning
Wrote my first lines of code. It was terrible, but seeing a console window actually do what I told it to do was enough to get me hooked.
Getting serious
Realized that programming is 80% debugging. Started building actual tools, competed at my first hackathon, and dipped into front-end design to make things look good.
Looking for a team
Putting myself out there. Competed at BadenHackt 2026, shipped LinkUp, and now looking for a junior role, apprenticeship, or internship to learn from people who know what they're doing.
Let's work
together
If you have an open spot on your team or just want to talk about code, I'd like to hear from you. I'm available for apprenticeships, internships, and junior positions from 2026.
