Technical Leader. Compute and AI Infrastructure

Hi, I’m Anton — welcome to datastrophic.io!

I’m a technical leader and software engineer specializing in distributed systems, container orchestration platforms, and AI infrastructure. I’m focusing on performance optimizations, workload scheduling and federation, and resource management in large-scale multi-cluster environments.

What does “datastrophic” mean?

datastrophic (adj.) - relating to or describing a critical platform issue that results in severe data loss or damage.

The name comes from my work circa 2015 helping startups design data platforms. We frequently discussed critical issues — data loss, consistency, delivery semantics, idempotent writes, backup strategies — and their business impact. When SLA breaches or irrecoverable data loss occurred, the consequences were often catastrophic. Hence, “datastrophic.”
