Hi, My name is Anna Shishliakova. I live in Berlin and program web systems. I work at website builder readymag.com and run a survey constructor showroom.so. Aside from programming, I happen to code activist and art projects, make comics and illustrations. My vyaz calligraphy “grep the logs” once inspired a paper. In the summer of 2024 I started printing algorithmic graphics.

Readymag is a website builder for designers. The programmers in Redymag do everything and own everything. Both 12 years worth of code and all of its cloud architecture. Although I focus on client-side computing: zoom, grids, transforms and animations, I get my share of infrastructure things too.

Showroom.so is a survey builder made by two people. I'm proud of my humane technical choices and the balance between things written from scratch and ready-made. The app's simplicity allows the second founder, a designer, to code and deploy on par with me. We won a Red Dot award for our fluid interface and logic jumps. So far the biggest technical effort was multiplayer mode and switching to CRDT. That said, the greatest challenge in one's own business is sales and customer care.

senior frontend in daliaresearch.com
I did some contract work for smekalka.ru, notably their blood test app: everyone seemed to be making such app those days. Later that year, I started working for a website-builder readymag.com, but had to quit early because I moved to Berlin. We met again in 2020.
Dalia Research conducts digital surveys. This means building those surveys and finding the audience for them. An example of such survey would be shark fin consumption level in China. In Dalia Research, I was that very programmer who came and rewrote almost everything to React, and the rest to Vue.

frontend in onetwotrip.com
Onetwotrip is a flight booking platform with customer support making up at least half of its team. In Onetwotrip I wrote the in-house system for managing the bookings using Knockout.js.
Yandex is "Russian Google", and it has its own mail. I had a chance to work with this mail, or rather with its little sister, mobile webmail. Back then, touch gestures were just starting to be supported. The unbearable android browser was too popular, and named its versions after confectionery.

startups and contract work
fullstack in a basement studio
Like everyone, I had a basement web studio in my life. The kind that aims to take over the world and pulls all-nighters. Hired as daresay Wordpress-expert, I found myself building overkill Java backends. Somehow my enthusiastic chef managed to convince the small town clients they needed those.
I wrote the frontend of an English-learning startup with Israeli roots, and then a web app for a publisher mann-ivanov-ferber.com to keep track of the books in the translation pipeline.

jack of all trades in rostelekom
Rostelekom is an internet provider with branches in many Russian towns. Back then internet providers had to also provide simple website making. I was hired to make such websites. In practice, I wrote the helpdesk system for managing the internet provisioning of the small town , acquired SQL wizardy and poured my energy into the code and theming of the youth internet portal (a pre-social network website with forums, chats and game servers).
