Anton Kalashnikau
I build systems that work — across teams, tools, and releases. From backend to frontend, from idea to production.
Helping teams scale their products without burning out or breaking things.
Principles
Clarity before motion
Everything works better when you know what you are solving.
Ship, learn, repeat
Progress beats perfection every single time.
Build systems, not patches
Anything that scales — code, process, or people — should be intentional.
Clarity over cleverness
Readable, simple, and boring usually means it will survive.
Automate the pain
If it hurts twice, script it once.
Own your work
If you build it, you maintain it. Ownership is freedom, not control.
Context beats control
Good teams do not need micromanagement — they need clarity and trust.
Make impact visible
What you build only matters if it helps someone.
Keep it calm
Pressure breaks people faster than code. Stay steady, fix things, move on.
Stay curious
Everything changes. Curiosity is what keeps you growing.
What I Do
Product Engineering
I turn ideas into systems that last. Every decision ties back to the product and the people using it.
Architecture & Platforms
I design the foundations that teams build on — APIs, pipelines, CI/CD, and cloud setups that do not get in the way.
Frontend Systems
I work with React and Next.js to make complex apps fast, consistent, and easy to maintain.
Technical Leadership
I help teams grow through clarity, shared context, and trust — not control.
About
10+ years building products and teams across SaaS and distributed systems. I focus on clarity, architecture, and the people who bring systems to life.
Based in Wroclaw, Poland (CET). Often somewhere between code, coffee, and road trips.
