Top SchoolAnton Palgunov is an independent engineer and tech advisor with 12 years of experience building mission-critical banking infrastructure and developer platforms, most recently leading Backoffice & IAM platform efforts at Revolut. He scaled a monolith into a Tier‑0 platform powering 50+ apps and 1,000+ microservices for 12,000+ employees, drove company-wide IAM and JML automation, and engineered CI/CD to cut time-to-production to under 10 minutes. Comfortable toggling between deep systems programming (C++ roots) and product strategy, he enforces high availability (99.995% uptime) and compliance across global jurisdictions. He also authors open-source tools like MTMR (a macOS Touch Bar customizer) and writes/speaks on systems and Linux, reflecting a hands-on maker mindset beyond managerial duties. Known for creating autonomous engineering cultures, Anton combines architecture review, cross-team alignment, and developer experience to de-risk large migrations and audits.
