Hello! I'm Maxwell Evans.

I'm a creative developer based out of Denver, CO.

Focusing on the process as much as the outcome, I look for creative and collaborative approaches to create amazing and unique things. I am currently available for full-time hire & freelance opportunities.

A passionate creator that fuses mathematical thinking with a creative spark.

When I'm creating something, I always make sure that both design and usability are considered along every step of the process. As someone with a lengthy background in math & sciences, I have the tools to analyze and meticulously plan the structures that make up the base for whatever content I am producing. While the foundation is being set, I look ahead for how the pretty pictures and smooth animations can meld on top. Through this system, whatever I'm making is guaranteed to have a much longer lifespan, while still looking great.

I put a lot of passion and consideration into what I create, knowing that it'll be used by myriad people for years to come. Need something made that'll stands the test of time, while also standing apart from the rest? I'm the one to talk to.

My Journey

"When you hit the point of no return, that's the moment it truly becomes a journey."

University of Denver

Sep 2015 - May 2019

B.S. Computer Science, B.S. Mathematics, Minor Japanese

Through my time at the University of Denver, I honed my passions for programming and mathematical theory, all while meeting a wide variety of awe-inspiring individuals. I also had the amazing opportunity to study abroad in Akita, Japan at Akita International University.

Spotpost, Inc.

May 2018 - Mar 2020

Co-Founder, Chief Content Officer

During my Junior year of university, I founded an independent start-up with my fellow Computer Science students and friends. The start-up, Spotpost, was a web-based digital bulletin board service placed in communities that wanted easy and convenient ways to publish flyers and interact with their consumers more efficiently.

As the Chief Content Officer, I developed and designed much of the application's front-end, as well as outlined front-end product specifications for other developers' reference. As one of the founders, I also guided our team through software development practices (i.e. Agile Scrum methodology). Additionally, I managed finances/runway, oversaw the raising of capital, and interviewed, hired, and on-boarded student interns.

Independent Contractor

Apr 2020 - Present

Web Developer, Designer

After graduating from university and parting from Spotpost, I began an independent venture of contract work in the form of web design. I single-handely design, build, and maintain custom websites for clients using Webflow, a no-code website-building canvas (the same platform used to build this site!).

For each client, I meet with them and their teams to assess what goals they have for the project, what their budget is, and what custom content they need to go along with it. I handle all design composition (color, illustration, sourcing images, typography, and branding) and content outlining (general structure, navigation/flow, CTA objectives and realization). Additionally, I create digital art & graphics (logos, infographics, photo editing, icons, etc.) for clients without pre-existing branding portfolios.

TBD
