Anna Veretennykova — Frontend Engineer & Product Builder

Five years of experience in cloud infrastructure, frontend architecture, and full-stack product development. Specialising in Angular, TypeScript, Go, and iOS. Built ANNÁVE PDF, a document-to-PDF converter for 20+ formats, backed by the open-source ANNÁVE PDF Engine and CLI on GitHub. PasspoPet is a privacy-first iOS app for pet travel documentation, launching soon. Previously an engineer on cloud migration and distributed systems.

Five years building cloud infrastructure and distributed systems at scale — Kubernetes across 50+ clusters, AWS platform engineering, microservice architecture, and GitOps workflows with full lifecycle ownership. In 2025, moved into independent product engineering: the ANNÁVE PDF Engine (server-side Go, open source) and CLI are live; PasspoPet launching on iOS. Two public repos on GitHub — PDF engine and developer CLI. Documentation at docs.annave.tech; technical writing at blog.annave.tech. Architecture, engineering, design, and deployment — every decision, solo.
