Max Korsunov

I create best-in-class frontends for Web3 startups: performant, accessible, working as intended. But I don't stop at the UI – I make backends, build browser extensions, design in Figma, maintain open source libraries, and actively engage with the dev community. I gather product requirements, shape features, and turn ideas into polished products – quickly and at the highest quality.

Proficient in Web3, I bring more than just technical execution. I can model DeFi tokenomics, architect order books, write smart contracts in Solidity or Rust, connect them seamlessly with TypeScript, or even build a high-frequency trading engine for decentralized exchanges.

You could call me a full-stack engineer – but really, I'm someone who helps Web3 startups move faster, build smarter, and ship better products.

Technologies I am good at:

• TypeScript
• React.js
• Web3
• Vue.js
• Svelte
• Node.js
• Rust
