Info

TWO STACKS, ONE ENGINEER

I'm Maxwell, a software engineer in Little Rock. I've been writing code since I was 17.

At Dillard's I work across the whole stack, from COBOL and DB2 on the mainframe to Spring Boot and Angular services running on OpenShift. I work on an internal HR application used across the company, mentor other developers, and handle production support when things break.

Outside of work I build sports software. Computer vision on NFL film, a scouting platform for an English football club, machine learning research on player data. Everything on the Work page was built on nights and weekends.

The Enterprise Stack, day job

COBOL / CICS / JCL / VSAMbatch + online
