Work Experience
Relevance Person
Shawn Tabrizi
Shawn Tabrizi is a full-time engineer living in Berlin. I was born and raised in the heart of the Bay Area, a breeding pool of technology and innovation. At the age of 13, I began programming, attempting to learn how to hack my PlayStation Portable so I could play free games. Through the PSP hacking community, I discovered the immense potential of computers, programming, and the internet. I graduated from the College of Creative Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara, with a degree in Physics and Mathematics. Shortly afterwards, I joined Microsoft to work on Microsoft Azure, their cloud computing services. Recently, I joined Parity Technologies as a Core Developer, working on blockchain infrastructure and the future of decentralization on the web.

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.
