Aleksandr Smyshliaev

Channels (ChannelTech) · Tbilisi, Georgia

• Sole frontend engineer on a 3-person product team (one backend, one mobile), owning the entire web front end in React, Next.js, and TypeScript from design handoff to production on continuous deployment.
• Worked with the product designer from wireframes onward, prototyped new interactions, and iterated on feedback before release.
• Maintained the shared component set and visual guidelines, and refactored legacy modules incrementally while shipping new features.
• Built an SEO landing page with structured data and Core Web Vitals telemetry: Lighthouse 95 performance, 96 accessibility, 100 best practices, 100 SEO.
• Added integration and unit tests (Playwright, Jest) to previously untested modules.

SiliconMint · Tbilisi, Georgia

• Enabled gzip compression on backend API calls, roughly doubling throughput with a single configuration change.
• Built a reusable React hook for caching CDN image URLs, cutting network requests and improving page load times product-wide.
• Shipped "Find My Meds" from scratch for SmithRx (pharmacy benefits platform): search with filters, results list, and Google Maps integration, fully tested.
• Developed a reusable URL-based UI state hook and rolled it out across 12+ pages; owned a legacy refactor end to end.
• Fixed flaky Cypress tests that were destabilizing CI/CD; mentored peers through code review and pairing.

Omise Co., Ltd. · Bangkok, Thailand

• Architected and maintained the production merchant dashboard for Omise's payments platform in React, GraphQL, and styled-components — the surface merchants use to watch their own money move, so the correctness bar sat above typical CRUD UI.
• Partnered with backend engineers to define API contracts before implementation, cutting rework on both sides.
• Prototyped a JavaScript SDK bridging a native mobile wrapper to JS mini-apps; built an internal D3.js analytics dashboard.
• Drove a major UI architecture refactor while the dashboard stayed in production.

Ongrad

• Maintained two React, Redux, and SSR sites. Wrote the first version of react-horizontal-scrolling-menu here, after a design called for a horizontal scrolling menu no library covered.

Aevrika

• Built features in Vue.js and data visualizations with D3.js and Highcharts.

• Cisco/VLAN networking, servers, backups, and scripting — where the Linux, Docker, and CI/CD comfort comes from.

Cloudflare Workers + D1, TypeScript, SQL

• Self-hosted behaviour analytics — heatmaps, scroll depth, rage-click detection, session replay — with no cookies and no third-party scripts. Designed the schema and the ingest path: batched beacons over `sendBeacon`, idempotent on a `(pageview, sequence)` unique constraint so a retried flush cannot double-count. Token-gated read APIs, a nightly retention cron, and a 1.7KB tracker that anchors each event to a CSS selector so heatmaps survive responsive breakpoints.

Open-source Playwright tooling · 112 GitHub stars

• VCR-style record and replay: an intercepting proxy captures real API traffic once across Next.js SSR, browser, and WebSocket transports, then replays it deterministically in CI with no backend running. test-proxy-recorder.dev

Open-source Node.js service

• Single-worker priority queue for local LLMs (Ollama), exposed as an OpenAI-compatible HTTP service so cron jobs, browser extensions, and OpenAI clients share one serialized queue against one model. Published on npm with a CLI. github.com/asmyshlyaev177/llm-queue

Cloudflare Worker + D1, or Node + SQLite

• A crowdsourced cache in front of a rate-limited third-party API, keeping every client under the limit. One set of handlers runs on either backend through a small database interface, so the same code deploys to Workers, to systemd on a VPS, or to Docker. Poisoning-resistant by consensus: one latest vote per client per key, confidence measured as distinct clients backing the winning value.

React library · 788 stars, ~87k weekly downloads

• Horizontal scroll primitive for React; 20k+ dependent repositories. Inherited it, rewrote the core in TypeScript, added tests and Storybook, and kept the public API stable through React 17, 18, and 19. github.com/asmyshlyaev177/react-horizontal-scrolling-menu

Next.js library · 418 stars, ~6.7k weekly downloads

• Type-safe, zero-dependency synchronisation of nested React state to the URL, so filters, multi-step forms, and expanded panels survive a reload and can be shared as a link. Sole author: hooks API, TypeScript core, docs site, every issue and release. github.com/asmyshlyaev177/state-in-url
