I am Anton. I write frontend for a living and I am trying to change that.
Nine years in. React since hooks were a proposal. Next.js across half a dozen apps — pages router, app router, the awkward in-between. I have shipped construction-tech web + mobile, ed-tech platforms, internal kanban boards, design-system UI kits, i18n for fifty countries, and a React Native MVP I am still oddly fond of. I lead more than I IC these days, but the IC reflex never went away.
The pivot is not a panic move. The best frontend engineers I know are all quietly learning LLMs on the side. I want to do it loudly, on a clock, with something to show at the end.
I live in Buenos Aires. I speak Russian, English, and enough Spanish to argue about coffee. I run in the morning, read in the afternoon, ship at night.
