summary: I am deeply involved in Free and Open Source Software from various perspectives — strategic, technical, legal, community, and even political.
--- ---
## Hi, I'm **Max Mehl**. ## Hi, I'm **Max Mehl**.
I am deeply involved in Free and Open Source Software from various perspectives — strategic, technical, legal, community, and even political. Open Source has always been more than code to me. I deeply care about its principles such as collaboration, transparency, and pragmatic problem-solving.
In my work, I apply this expertise at Deutsche Bahn in DB Systel's CTO Team. Before this, I was Senior Program Manager at the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE). I work at Deutsche Bahn on Open Source strategy, governance, and team enablement. The goal is to help the organisation use and contribute to Open Source effectively. This includes co-founding the OpenRail Association for sector-wide collaboration and advancing software supply chain practices, especially around SBOMs and Cyber Resilience Act compliance.
I am a political and administrative science graduate, and founded a [small company for web services]({{< ref "it" >}}). As&nbsp;a self-taught software developer I maintain several Open Source projects. In my little free time, I love being with my family, doing sports, and playing and listening to music. With a background in political and administrative science and a strong technical foundation, my work often bridges technology and strategy. The focus is always on practical, long-term solutions that balance compliance, security, and efficiency.
Once in a while [I blog]({{< ref "blog" >}}) about things that keep me busy. Previously, I was with the Free Software Foundation Europe, leading licensing and compliance initiatives such as *REUSE* and campaigns like *Public Money, Public Code*. Before that, I founded a small, client-focused [IT consultancy]({{< ref "it" >}}) offering website development and system administration.
You can contact me via email, messenger, or any of the platforms listed below.\ Outside of work, most time goes into family life with two kids. As a self-taught software developer, some of the rest goes into maintaining Open Source projects — and a little less than I'd like into climbing walls without ropes.
