Summary
Anton Zaides is an engineering manager and founder with 8 years of hands-on experience scaling teams and systems across data-intensive startups and product companies. He progressed from full-stack developer to director of engineering in three years after a deliberate reset to rebuild his leadership toolkit, and now focuses on practical management guidance through manager.dev and weekly articles. His technical background spans Python, TypeScript/React, Kubernetes, and data pipelines, and he has led teams handling millions of images and tens of thousands of flight plans. Anton has founded startups and helped launch an agent-based BI product, giving him direct experience with the challenges of bootstrapping B2B data businesses. Based in Tel Aviv, he blends engineering, writing, and community-building to help new managers ship results faster and avoid the common pitfalls he once faced. An uncommon strength is his combination of frontline coding experience, formal training/mentorship roots from Mamram, and a proven track record of rapid promotion into senior leadership.
