I also audit what is already in place: the team, the security and the contracts. Two startups cofounded and run end to end (Foundingbird, Kaunto).
I take repetitive work off your team: first drafts, invoice follow-ups, monthly reports, and the half day spent looking for a document. A person approves what goes out, and the hours go to work that needs a person. Built and sold a document AI SaaS in 2025.
Search and answers over large archives, with a source on every answer: the ingestion pipeline for 20M pages at L'Oréal (OCR, vectorization, semantic search). relevanC's analytics platform on 400M+ events a 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.
