I make the web
functional
and pretty
Hello there! I'm Max Antonucci, a senior full-stack engineer that codes with HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, React, Ember, Ruby, Ruby on Rails, Python, and more. My specialties include web accessibility and design systems. I love having the opportunity to contribute to the civic tech sphere, and I am currently looking for full-time work.
I enjoy reading, crafting, mobile gaming, drawing, and traveling. I also like to write about programming. You can read about challenging coding concepts, happenings in the programming world, and personal life lessons in my blog. A curious mind keeps me learning and understanding as I go along.
I currently live in Connecticut with my lovely wife and my everyday ponderings.
Portfolio

The Searchable Museum
My first project with AgileSix was helping build and refine the digital museum for the National Museum of African American History and Culture built with Gatsby. I built an in-depth, interactive exhibit component, refactored the main navigation, and brought the site closer to Web Content and Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 compliance by documenting and fixing accessibility bugs.
VA Facility Pages
I helped implement new VA Design System components, updated webpages with new content that was responsive and accessible, and built out the VA/Tricare system of pages to ensure veterans can find needed facilities and health care. These pages are built with Drupal, web components, React, and MetalSmith.
SeeClickFix Portal
The Request Portal is how citizens can use SeeClickFix to send requests to their local governments, track their progress, explore others on a map, and comment or follow others. I made the style guide and design system that the front-end was built on from scratch. It was integrated it into front-end and back-end platforms of Ember, React, and Ruby on Rails. I also ensured it was compliant with WCAG 2.1 standards.
Our Wedding
When my wedding was being planned, we needed a website, and I was proud to make it myself. We needed it fast, so I used my custom Jekyll template and my Atomic Sass stylesheet. It also made use of responsive embedded maps, image galleries with lazy loading, a vertical timeline of events, and an animated countdown timer built with React, while keeping it accessible for all the guests. The amazing design was courtesy of my new wife ♡.
