Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAnton Zhiyanov is a backend software engineer and Go educator with two decades of software experience and a dozen years focused on production backend systems. He designs maintainable, long-lived services and has built high-throughput subsystems—everything from a 50TB NoSQL warehouse to billing, permissions, and analytics platforms that scaled dramatically while reducing support overhead. As a self-employed author and teacher he writes a book on Go concurrency, produces interactive Go release tours, and runs courses on concurrency and the standard library. Anton is an active open-source maintainer (notably contributing substantial SQLite extensions in the nalgeon/sqlean repo) and frequently implements pragmatic features like Unicode, crypto, and I/O primitives that bridge databases and applications. Based in Tashkent with a master’s in software engineering, he combines hands-on systems work with a talent for turning complex requirements into reliable, easy-to-operate software.
