Max Fong

Product/growth engineer. B.Sc. Honours Computer Science, Minor in Statistics — McGill '26.

I build AI products end to end: agents, RAG pipelines, and the backend they run on. Currently looking for product/growth engineering roles at early-stage startups in NYC.

Experience

Botpress — Growth Engineer Intern One of the main contributors on a bot-building agent that takes users from a natural-language prompt to a deployed bot. Claude Haiku inference, Redis caching, Zod validation, feature-flagged rollout. Ran the first customer pilot. Also shipped open-source integrations: MailerLite, SharePoint, HubSpot, Persat.

Retail Realm — Software Developer Intern Built a RAG pipeline over 550K+ support tickets with Azure Databricks, PySpark, and ChromaDB. Self-hosted vLLM to cut latency and API cost.

Projects

  • personal-finance — AI-first finance app. Plaid cursor-based sync into Postgres, encrypted access tokens, RLS on every table, and a tool-calling assistant that reads and acts on your own transaction data. Next.js, Prisma, Supabase.
  • vim-survivor — survival game where Vim motions are the combat mechanic. Diffs your buffer against a target live and surfaces the next edit to make. Next.js, CodeMirror.
  • Rainbow DQN — reimplemented from scratch in PyTorch; 60% faster convergence on Seaquest.
  • Turing Poker Bot — real-time EV calculation and adaptive opponent modeling.

Stack

TypeScript, Python, React/Next.js, Node, PostgreSQL, Prisma, Docker
