My name is Anton Tonkov. I am a software developer, the author of madnum, and the creator of Doorak. I write here about software projects, travel, photography, tango, and a quieter way of working with ideas.

The writing is grounded in my own experience, observations, and work on personal projects. The focus is not volume or noise, but rhythm, clarity, and attention to detail.

Some pieces grow into long-form writing, others stay as brief notes or visual sequences. Together they form an authored archive meant to be read and revisited rather than merely scrolled through.

Russian is the primary edition. English appears where a text already has a finished and considered translation.
