Max McDonnell

Max McDonnell is a packaging system enthusiast and hobbyist. He is a Staff Engineer at Voltus Inc where he is responsible for the existence of an internal packaging system that is on its way to feature parity with more mature software that probably should have been used in the first place.

He has created a Nix-inspired package manager and build system called Bramble. It is not intended for adoption, but is a fun exploration of Nix's functionality in Go if that is of interest to others.
