ABOUT ME
Senior React Consultant with 7+ Years of Experience
Senior React Consultant with 7+ Years of Experience

My name is Danica but people call me Dani or Dana whichever is easier to pronounce.
I am a full stack web developer with a strong focus on front-end and, together with my husband lead a team of five amazing humans.

Working for myself has allowed me to work on a wide-range of projects and companies alike - from FinTech to E-Commerce. I love working on projects where I help solve a specific business pain point using my technical and soft skills. I believe I am most useful leading teams, coordinating work and being a bridge between different departments (such as development and design). Whenever I work on projects, I integrate fully into the team and work alongside them to get the job done.

I recently became a mother, which brought new challenges into my work schedule :)
As such, I would be available for part time project work or any type of flexible-schedule mentorship.

To see if we are a fit, I would be happy to jump into a call anytime! Feel free to say hello :)

As a primarily front-end oriented developer, every project I have worked with required knowledge of CSS to bring responsive web applications live. Based on my experience, poor CSS knowledge leads to JavaScript overuse (and sometimes misuse!) which can impact performance.

Fantastic session. Danica was very good at breaking down some complex testing concepts into relatively bite-sized chunks for me to understand and move forward with. Highly recommend!!

Danica explained concepts clearly and helped me understand the 'why' behind my options instead of just the 'what'. I was feeling stuck before this call, but after 30 minutes I feel far more confident A***
