About Me

I'm Max Peterson, a 34-year-old software engineer based in Central Iowa. I love building useful tools that solve real problems.

By day, I'm a software engineer at Workiva. In my free time, I own and operate Ames Superdog, a late-night street food cart that's been satisfying cravings in Ames, Iowa since 2003. When I'm not coding or managing the cart, you'll find me helping out on the family farm.

Oh, and I bleed cardinal and gold. Go Cyclones! 🌪️
