Max Edward Cohen
Hello, welcome to my website.
My name is Max and I was born & raised in Santa Rosa, California.
While pursuing my bachelor's degree in computing and business, I discovered my passion leading teams. During my experiences, I have overseen the development for lines of products, company brands, and marketing campaigns.
My inspiration to begin down this course was an interview with Steve Wozniak that I had back in 2014. After learning about Apple's beginnings, I started to develop my own projects which grew alongside my passions.
