hey, i'm max.

I study computer science and philosophy at Suffolk University, and design and develop web tools in my spare time. I can't comment on their usefulness, but they're hopefully a little cool.

Hypersearch

new!

Hypersearch is a Chromium extension that provides power-user search tools. Slim down and streamline Google search result pages by filtering out spam results and blocking unnecessary info cards.

asciish

Asciish is a Vite/Rollup extension that provides build-time Unicode injection using shortcodes. This helps to keep source code UTF-8 compliant, while allowing for the use of complex Unicode characters on a webpage.

Escape time is a small WebGL fractal explorer thrown together over a weekend for a Suffolk University Math Society presentation. It supports a few different fractals and was mostly a WebGL learning experience.

Clippy

Clippy.mov is a web-based video editor built using FFmpeg.wasm. I stopped developing it after the new school semester started, and recently came back to it. It's in active development.

I have plenty of other projects not quite worthy of mention here, and you can see most of them on my GitHub.

I also infrequently write about things in the digital space that mean something to me. Here are some of my recent posts:
