Anton Kronaj
Software developer who knows some stuff, but is still figuring others out.
I don't chase trendy stacks. I care about building, why systems break, and building them so they don't break the same way twice.
I'm still learning, 12 years and I'm still finding gaps in my mental model of how systems actually fail. Still finding joy in new tools and ways to solve problems. That curiosity is the fun part. It's what keeps me engaged and makes development fun.
This is where I think out loud about architecture decisions, production debugging, and the tools that make engineering teams less stressed. Just ideas that stuck with me long enough to be worth writing down.

Programmer for Temple University VEPO Lab
Built 3D visualizations with OpenGL and a Kinect for physical therapy research
Graduated from Temple University
Earned my BS in Computer Science
Started at ZixCorp
Worked with some wonderful people on very cool tech and problems
Started at Immersive Media
Solo-built the Android and iOS app for The Expanse TV show
Started at CollegeNet
SVN just didn't cut it, so I built and self-hosted our GitLab and CI/CD
Scaled the Coalition platform
Grew it 2K → 6K applicants, cut load time in half, and got promoted to tech lead
Led the CRM platform team
Re-architected messaging to move 1M+ messages/day across 600+ queues — 25% faster
Turned on ELK logging
Grepping logs has its limits — found 100+ institutions with silently broken automations
Laid off from CollegeNet
A clean business decision, not a performance one — said goodbye to some excellent people
Deployed ResuRank
My first desktop app, shipped solo with Electron
Learning new skills and building new tools
Always learning, always shipping, and looking for new opportunities
I'm looking for an Individual Contributor role. One where I work on systems, debug issues, drive architecture, and collaborate with product, SRE, QA, and other development teams. I enjoy building infrastructure that makes developers' jobs easier: better observability, faster deploys, frictionless development, and clearer incident response. Let's build something!
