Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAnton Gilgur is a Staff+ engineering generalist and hands-on tech leader with 12 years of experience building secure, scalable ML and Kubernetes-native platforms at startups and enterprises like Capital One. He combines deep SRE/MLOps, security, and full‑stack expertise—early adopter of React, Docker, ECS and k8s—while leading “lead of leads” rotations, onboarding programs, and cross-team architecture for 25+ clusters and hundreds of models. He has driven major platform wins (e.g., re-architecting model schedulers to k8s CronJobs, Argo-based batch serving that cut runtimes 10x, and enterprise compliance automation) and actively contributes to OSS (maintainer of rollup-plugin-typescript2 and react-signature-canvas, and contributor to projects like Argo and TypeScript docs). A repeat start-up builder and advisor, Anton pairs product instincts (SEO, growth, customer discovery) with security-first engineering and a passion for mentoring—he taught himself to code at 12 and started his first business at 18.
