Anton Kovalyov was born and raised in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Back in the day, he was mostly writing Python and (re-)compiling Gentoo. In 2008, he moved to the United States where he joined Disqus. Around the same time, he discovered JavaScript and the two have been inseparable ever since. While at Disqus, Anton authored JSHint, a JavaScript linting tool and co-authored "Third-Party JavaScript"(Manning). After Disqus, Anton moved to Mozilla, where he worked on the Firefox Developer Tools team.
Today, Anton works at Medium and lives in Oakland, CA.
