About
I'm Patrice Maxwell, a software engineer who enjoys turning complex problems into thoughtful, dependable systems.
My work currently centers on cloud-native payment infrastructure, application security, distributed systems, and AI-assisted development. I'm also pursuing a master's degree in computer science at Georgia Tech, where I'm continuing to deepen my understanding of operating systems, architecture, and scalable software.
Outside of work, I'm usually exploring a trail, building something in RiceLab, developing ideas for GoRTech, or finding new ways to bring technology and community together.
I approach engineering with curiosity, empathy, and a genuine love of learning — committed to the joy of it all.
