Work Experience
Relevance Person
Anton Kaliaev
Anton Kaliaev is Software engineer, polyglot developer, 8 years of experience in commercial software development, not a great programmer; just a good programmer with great habits. I did not focus on any particular language. Instead, I decided to devote more time to fundamental things (how OS works, design patterns, etc.). I like debug and fix complex bugs (using Linux utilities like strace, iostat, tcpdump and others); think about application's architecture and ways to improve it (although, sometimes I feel I do not have enough experience); see how the project I'm working on helps people and makes them happier; share knowledge with my colleagues. I am able to write code on a marker board in Erlang or Ruby or Golang. At various times I wrote > 1000 lines in Golang, Erlang, Ruby, Java, C, Clojure, Javascript, PHP, C# (I forgot last 3 languages). What I use in my daily work: Linux, Git, Ansible, Docker, Tmux, and Vim.

Jae has worked on numerous open-source projects, such as a CoffeeScript compiler/interpreter written in Javascript, an end-to-end encrypted email system called Scramble.io, and a cryptocurrency exchange. These projects were inspired by the cryptopunk hacker ethos, which ultimately led to his current work with Tendermint. In 2014, Jae created the Tendermint project, and he, along with Ethan Buchman and Zarko Milosevic, further refined the Tendermint consensus algorithm and implementation, with the aim of liberating the blockchain from the costs and drawbacks of proof-of-work mining. His mission is to make this technology more accessible, in order to accelerate the adoption of decentralized ledger technology.
