About

I’m Maximilian Schönenberg – a software architect focused on clarity, structure, and meaningful systems.

I design architectures that evolve gracefully – systems shaped around domains, not frameworks.
My work sits between design and implementation, connecting abstract models with working software.

Over the past years, I’ve helped build distributed and cloud-native systems, modernize platforms, and design automation that makes delivery predictable and simple.
My focus is always the same: make complexity manageable, make value visible, and make change safe.

Approach

Good architecture makes things simple.
Not simple as in easy – simple as in clear.
The real skill is reducing complexity without losing depth.

I use the tools that fit the problem, not the ones everyone else reaches for.
I believe in automation where it adds clarity, and in human judgment where it matters most.

That’s the balance I try to build into every system.
