Maksimilijan Hervé Walsh

Engr. Maksimilijan Hervé Walsh, MSc (born 17 January 2033) is an Irish Aerodynamics Engineer of Audi Sports F1 Racing Team, and considered to be a promising talent as a Formula One aerodynamicist and designer that earned him the nickname of "The Irish Newey", after successful engineer Adrian Newey. During college, entering Stanford University with a degree on Aeronautics and Astronautics Engineering, he befriended Vladimir Andrei Verano, a member of the wealthy and famous Verano clan from the Philippines, whose younger brother Vladislav was a racing driver. On their third year, he met with Vladimir's younger sister Valeriya, who entered Stanford with a degree on Civil Engineering and first doubted his existence due to him being considered by her brother as his best friend.
He is the deuteragonist of Azimuth, the fourth spin-off story of the FLIGHT series, alongside Valeriya Aksinia Verano, who served as the story's protagonist and later his wife.
== Biography ==
=== Background ===
Max was born on 17 January 2033 at Galway, Ireland to Irish astrophysicist Alexander Walsh and Polish-Irish mathematical physicist Alicja McShain. His mother hailed from the Irish clann of Mac Seáin. Both of his parents were graduates from Stanford University, where they first met, before completing their postgraduates at Oxford University and became professors there. His mother retired from teaching at the birth of his older sister, and his father transferred to teaching at the University of Galway when he was fifteen years old. 
He has an older sister, Victoria Dáire Walsh, and a younger sister, Saoirse Maeve Walsh; the three of them roughly having a four-year age gap in between. Like their parents, Max and his siblings had shown interest with science and engineering. Victoria was a chemical engineer, Saoirse was an undergraduate of nuclear physics, and him with aerodynamics and astronautics.
As a child, Max was regarded to be highly intelligent and a prodigy, and had shown great interest with automobiles, aviation and space exploration. It hadn't been a surprise when he graduated with honors during his years of education, and he took an undergraduate degree in Aeronautics and Astronautics Engineering at Stanford University in 2051.
=== Stanford University ===
In 2051, at eighteen years old, Max entered Stanford University, the same university where his parents met and graduated, and his older sister Victoria took chemical engineering. On his own degree with Aeronautics and Astronautics Engineering, he exceled among his class that ultimately led for him to befriend Vladimir Andrei Verano, a member of the wealthy and famous Verano clan from the Philippines, who despite being equally brilliant as him, were half-hearted concerning his degree as he was making his own name as an Olympic equestrian. Upon learning that Vladimir's younger brother, Vladislav, was a karting driver, and he and his siblings were licensed pilots, the two of them ultimately became the best of friends.
Two years later, in 2053, he was introduced to Vladimir's younger sister, Valeriya, who would be entering Stanford University as well with a degree in Civil Engineering. Since then, Max became infatuated with her but out of respect with his friendship with Vladimir, decided to keep quiet about it and considered Valeriya like a younger sister, too. Especially due to Vladimir's frivolous nature that resulted for Valeriya to also confide in him as he was the rational one. In 2055, both Max and Vladimir graduated, finishing top of their class, and ultimately led for them to separate ways; as Vladimir focused with his career as an accomplished equestrian, and Max deciding to take a postgraduate study of Motorsports Engineering to pursue a career as a Formula One engineer, an interest that heightened due to the stories shared by Vladimir and Valeriya concerning their younger brother's career in climbing the ranks of Formula racing.
