Two startups cofounded and run end-to-end (Foundingbird, Kaunto): I know what shipping looks like.
I help SMBs and enterprises adopt AI: RAG, semantic search, LLM integrations, workflow automation, finding the right tool without overengineering. Designed and sold a Document AI SaaS in 2025.
Built the ingestion pipeline for 100M+ pages at L'Oréal (OCR, vectorization, semantic search). Designed relevanC's analytics platform processing 400M+ events/month.
Full-stack (React, React Native, TypeScript, Python, FastAPI) on GCP with Terraform.
Anton is a beast. Able to understand the goals of what we are trying to build and make technical decisions that get us closer to those objectives rather than just directly answering the bell. Strategic technical thinkers like this are often hard to find.
Of all the developers and engineers I've worked with (125+ and counting over 21 years), I've never met one who could balance such a calm, tolerant personality with the often insane workloads he took on. If you get the chance to work with him, take it.
Antonin is technically solid, but above all impact-driven. He does not just do the job: he digs into the stakes behind every topic and delivers something that actually creates value. Pragmatic, reliable and structured, he moves fast without losing sight of what matters.

Antonin stands out for his strong pedagogical skills: despite a high level of technical expertise, he is able to explain complex topics in a clear and accessible way to non-technical stakeholders.
Where many before him failed, Anton succeeded, bringing about significant improvements in a short span. What sets him apart is his leadership, skill in stakeholder management, strategy, attention to detail and vision for the long haul.

How I solve concrete problems, and what I can rebuild for you.
Build
No answer ships until every part of the question is covered or marked no data found
Ask for a comparison of eight products, get a confident answer about two, with nothing saying the other six were never searched.

100M+ pages, an answer in under a second, a citation on every sentence
Thirty brands, a dozen languages, and a team redoing a study that already exists because nobody can find it.
Read the article →Build
A dozen local models benchmarked, one kept, and the code never leaves the box
The meeting ends with no AI on this codebase, and the team loses the gain instead of the risk.

Every generated query is parsed, scoped to the asker's rights and rewritten before it touches the database
The wrong answer looks exactly like the right one, and it just read a table this user was never cleared for.
