Instructor Details

Anton Zaviyalov

Experienced software developer and educator with over a decade of building scalable applications at leading tech companies including Yandex, Avito, and Tabby.

My expertise spans backend systems to mobile development, with deep knowledge in Android where I've shipped apps that handle massive user bases. At these companies, I learned that great software isn't just about technical excellence—it's about solving real problems efficiently.

Teaching became my passion when I started mentoring junior developers and realized how much I loved breaking down complex concepts into clear, actionable steps. My courses focus on practical skills and real-world projects because that's how developers actually grow.
