Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAnton K is a Principal Software Engineer in Seattle with 12 years of experience building robust backend systems and leading engineering efforts at Zillow. He blends applied cryptography research—work on PIR and homomorphic encryption during his Cornell Tech M.Eng.—with practical production experience in Go, C++, Python, and cloud-native deployments. Anton has a track record of shipping high-performance APIs and data-intensive services, having designed low-latency queries and caching systems and managed AWS infrastructure from EC2 to S3. He’s led process improvements that contributed to a CMMI level 3 appraisal and has hands-on experience across the full stack including PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, and message queues. Comfortable moving between research and production, he’s equally at home optimizing cryptographic protocols and patching security issues in live systems. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic architecture, careful security thinking, and a preference for applied cryptography rather than cryptocurrencies.
