### Max Hawkins, CTO

Max is an artist and programmer interested in using computers to create serendipity. Before Dialup, he let a randomized computer program decide where he lived, what he did, and who he talked to for over two years. You might have heard about his experiment with randomly selected Facebook events on NPR's Invisibilia podcast.
