Max Jackson.

Full-stack & agent systems engineer

mjackson84@gmail.com

I translate practical needs into deployed software and improve it through daily use. My work connects contracts, indexing, and notifications at Cryptoart.social; agent tools and knowledge systems with Hermes; and experience coordinating developers, designers, and leadership.

02 / SELECTED SYSTEMS

Hands-on work.

Suchbot’s knowledge system — Logseq + logseqd

2026 — present

Logseq caught my interest because it organizes documents into blocks. That structure turned out to make a useful brain for Hermes. I wanted my agent and my other tools to work from the same notes, so I decided to build logseqd to make them quickly queryable. I worked with Hermes on the implementation and built a mobile interface so I could use the system from my phone.

Suchbot

2026 — present

Suchbot is the public face of my Hermes experiments throughout 2026. It publishes in-depth reports to its own blog every day and gives people access to creative tools directly in the Farcaster timeline. People can chain dozens of image commands together. I've refined its writing standards to avoid clichés and connected it to Logseq, with public documents available to timeline interactions and private work kept separate.

Cryptoart Auctionhouse

2025 — present

I built cryptoart.social because I wanted to use Manifold's marketplace contracts through Farcaster. I cloned the contracts, deployed a new subgraph, and built the site around them. Artists receive notifications when bids come in, and bidders hear when they've been outbid, helping keep them involved in the auction. I'm now expanding it into a broader marketplace, with work in progress on NFT liquidity pools, a Farcaster client, and curated galleries that can earn referral fees through auctionhouse links.

04 / WORKING WITH PEOPLE

Teaching & customer work

I currently work full time as a bicycle mechanic while building software and making art outside work. I’m often the person who steps in with frustrated customers. Previously, I taught swimming and drove a pedicab—work that taught me to adapt to different people, build confidence, and handle rejection without taking it personally.
