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

I am a full-stack web developer with a strong focus on front-end, and together with my husband, I lead a team of 10 amazing developers. Over the years, I’ve worn many hats, from hands-on coding to guiding product direction, and I’ve found that my real strength lies at the intersection of technology, product engineering, and people.

Working for myself has allowed me to collaborate on a wide range of projects, from FinTech to E-Commerce, and I thrive on solving real business pain points. I put as much effort into people skills and collaboration as I do into writing clean, scalable code because great products are built by great teams.

I especially enjoy leading cross-functional work, coordinating between development, design, and stakeholders, and ensuring everyone is aligned on the vision. Whenever I join a project, I fully integrate with the team, working side-by-side to deliver not just code, but a product that works for both the business and its users.

Happy to jump on a call to explore how I can help bring your idea to life.
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.

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***
