Hello!

My name is Anton Konev. I develop apps & launch online-services. I help companies build fast and user-friendly interfaces and reach their goals.

I prefer to make projects from scratch: to build architecture, to prototype, to collect metrics and work fast. Interested in challenging projects in ML.

At present, I'm an Engineering Team Lead at Recraft.

I launched Youtube channel "Anton code it" with Javascript live coding sessions. I share knowledge about JS, discuss my solutions and solutions of my colleagues.

Previously, I was a Tech Lead at Arrival. I was in charge of the multifunctional WebHub team (FE, BE, QA). During my work on the position our field of responsibility extended from two digital services (divided into seven components) to eight digital services. The main product was a corporate site of the company and its ecosystem.

Before that, I was a team lead & frontend developer at Yandex. As a team, we built an expandable and easy-to-support platform on which we developed and launched 3 large internal services in a short time. Prior to this, I implemented a new version of Yandex.Browser, participated in the development of Yandex.Weather and a special project for the Olympics in Rio.

I was a member of the Program Committee of YaTalks conference — hundreds of participants, frontend & backend track, 16 speakers and lots of mentions and positive feedback.

I taught a frontend course at the Ural Federal University. In 2018 I've become a co-author of frontend courses on Coursera.
