Anton Konev, a hands-on engineering lead based in London, UK.
I built the flagship canvas editor from scratch at Recraft, an AI design platform with 10 million users. I hired and now lead the engineering teams, coordinating delivery across engineering, product, and design. I remain the app's technical owner and spend most of my time building it. I've been the app's top code contributor for the past two years.
Previously at Arrival, I led architecture and delivery for eight core projects. I built microfrontend infrastructure, a design system, and a digital asset storage platform used across product teams. I progressed from Senior Software Engineer to Tech Lead of a cross-functional team and was twice named Employee of the Year in the engineering department.
At Yandex, I led the development of an internal developer platform for code hosting, cluster job management, and company-wide testing. The platform served 6,000+ developers and helped reduce time-to-market by 50%.
