Max Franz

I’m a lead product designer and developer focussed on internal tools, developer platforms, and high-performance systems. I specialise in UX for both technical and non-technical users, scalable workflows, and API/interface design.

Featured work (live portfolio)

  • Cytoscape.js
    A high-performance graph theory library powering advanced data visualisation for developers. Designed for clarity, stability, and scale; with 4M+ installs/month and adoption by Google, Meta, Microsoft, and leading research institutions.

  • GeneMANIA
    An interactive gene function prediction platform. Led UX and system design for intuitive query flows, real-time network visualisation, and interpretability for biomedical researchers.

  • EnrichmentMap
    A web-based analysis tool for gene set enrichment workflows. Designed core interactions and UI, based on UCD user interviews, to help researchers explore high-dimensional genomics data using network-based visualisations.

  • Biofactoid
    A structured data curation and visualisation tool for molecular biology. Developed workflows and UI patterns enabling domain experts to create machine-readable biological models without coding and without any training.
