About the founder
Hi, I'm Max.
I'm a computer engineer, and I've spent more than twenty years making technology work for businesses.
Max
Founder & Principal Engineer
My career started in 1999, with Microsoft Windows 2000 Server. I trained at New Horizons through the MCSE program, and from that first domain controller onward I was hooked on building systems that businesses can actually depend on.
Over the years I've worked across nearly every layer of IT. I've administered cPanel & WHM since its earliest versions, hosted and secured hundreds of websites, and dedicated years to Proxmox, Docker, Kubernetes and Zabbix. I share what I've learned on my Proxmox YouTube channel, which has grown to more than 3,000 subscribers.
Today I work as an AI-native full-stack engineer, certified in Claude Code through Anthropic Academy. That means I can build a complete system end to end, including the frontend, backend, database, hosting and deployment, and use AI to deliver it faster and better than was possible a few years ago. I also founded CloudFastServers, a managed hosting platform for AI agents.
I started Core Florida IT to bring that depth to businesses in Miami-Dade and South Florida. Local companies deserve the same caliber of engineering that large enterprises get, delivered by someone who picks up the phone, speaks their language — in English or Spanish — and treats their systems as if they were my own.
I work in English and Spanish.
