Top SchoolAntony Mackenzie-jones is a seasoned technology leader and Co-Founder/Group CTO at Beyonk with 14 years of experience building scalable, serverless platforms and high-performance PWAs using Svelte and SvelteKit. He blends hands-on engineering—contributing to core Svelte and SvelteKit adapters and UI improvements—with product and operational leadership across startups and enterprise projects. Antony has repeatedly taken companies from concept to Series A and production, applying rigorous automation, testing, and agile delivery to ensure quality at scale. An open-source maintainer and community builder (co-founder of Svelte Society and podcast co-host), he uniquely combines deep front-end optimization skills with serverless and deployment expertise on platforms like Vercel. Colocated in London, he’s as comfortable refactoring core libraries as he is designing extensible integration systems that let non-technical partners customize complex platforms.
