Maxwell Gerber

Hi, I'm Max. I'm currently a Software Engineer at Stytch where I work on Identity and Access Management standards like OAuth and SAML. I previously worked at Mulesoft on the Authentication and Authorization team.

When I am not helping people log in I am a fan of endurance sports like ultramarathons and bikepacking.

I live in San Francisco with my wife Cathy. We eat a lot of croissants 🥐.
