I turn business problems into web systems that work.

Portrait of Max Harris
About

Full-stack perspective. Real-world outcomes.

I am a web developer and digital systems consultant with 14 years of experience across marketing, product, and engineering teams at technology companies.

I specialize in translating business needs into systems teams can run: reliable architecture, practical workflows, and a consistent engineering standard across accessibility, security, performance, and quality.

Teaching is also a core part of my work. I have trained students and professionals through workshops, mentorship, and team onboarding so people can confidently operate the systems they use.

Operating Focus

Marketing Website Architecture

Structure and build websites that align technical decisions with business goals and editor workflows.

Platform Migrations

Migrate complex sites with SEO preservation, clear redirect strategy, and stable launch execution.

CMS and Team Enablement

Design content systems that reduce dependency and make day-to-day publishing reliable for teams.

MarTech Integrations

Connect CMS platforms with analytics, lead capture, and campaign tooling teams can trust.

Approach

How I work

Translate, don't just execute.

Every project starts by clarifying the real business goal. The right solution is the one that solves the right problem.

Build to a standard.

Accessibility, security, performance, and maintainable code are baseline requirements, not optional extras.

Leave teams better equipped.

I design systems for the people operating them after launch, with practical documentation and training built in.
