## 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.

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.
