Maximilian Pagels

At Stream Data Systems, I build production software for clients, including an e-commerce platform for Bulletproof Bumpers that generates approximately $30k per month and roughly doubled the client’s total sales.

I led the design and build of CANmail, a multi-tenant bulk email platform with a round-robin sending queue, webhook-based open, click, and bounce analytics, and a fix for a critical 70,000+ email backlog. I’ve also delivered a four-app suite for a 150-member national organization and led a four-person development team as the primary client contact.

As co-founder and backend developer at LocaLoyalty, I helped ship a loyalty platform serving 1,500+ active users across four business partnerships. I led a zero-downtime migration from PlanetScale to Turso, built Node.js APIs on AWS, and integrated Stripe billing and dynamic pricing.

I also build TatBrief, an AI-powered tattoo intake platform in beta, and have delivered React and WordPress websites for 10+ freelance clients through Evolve Design.
