About This Site

Here, I publish interviews, poetry, Chinese translations, surreal videogames, and commentary on books, poetry, and websites. I'm also running an art contest, open to everyone.

This site is also my chunk of the IndieWeb, a decentralized alternative to social media.

About Me

I earned a BA in Linguistics at Reed College, and an MSc in Computational Media at UC Santa Cruz. I've worked in data engineering, computational linguistics research, and Chinese translation.

Since 2025, I've worked at Epic (the healthcare-IT one) as a Server Systems Engineer, where I do the world's geekiest form of customer support: helping grizzled sysadmins wrangle Linux and AIX servers. When those boxes behave, a hospital EHR stays running, to the delight of patients and providers. When the boxes act up, I get paged, because those servers are Non Plus Infra.

My chief interests are tabletop RPGs, bird photography, reading, writing, and programming.

I am not Max Joslyn the illustrator and Twitter user; Max R. Joslyn the camera operator, documentary filmmaker and Flickr user; Max Joslyn the Pinterest user; or Joslyn Maxwell the author.
