Hi, I'm Danica.

I am a Software Developer in Toronto, Canada. I aspire to become a Full-Stack Developer and create websites which can be helpful to people in their everyday lives. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I decided to pick up React to start making ideas of mine become a reality.
Feel free to browse the site to get to know me more!

Experience

Jun '19 — Present

Scotiabank


As a part of the Foreign Exchange eFX development team, I maintain and implement back-end microservice apps that communicate to the WSS API. Additionally I also work on the front-end application which displays FX trades, prices, and configurable database entities for business users at the bank.

CIBC


Exploring the interest of Jenkins from my previous internship, I spent my last work term on the Software Configuration Management team. I migrated one of the old Jenkins build jobs to Blue Ocean using Groovy to script up a Jenkinsfile configuration.

With Grafana and Prometheus, I created custom Python exporters to help retrieve data on the eBanking back-end application packages. This helped the SCM team to have a visual on which packages were outdated and notified on failing health checks.

Technologies: Jenkins/Jenkins Blue Ocean, Python, Grafana, Prometheus, Bash

My very first internship within my career. I collaborated with a team of interns to work on a project for the PixelPoint POS reports & dashboard web application. This site allowed POS owners to see reports on their sales, and configure their own dashboard of widgets to get a visual representation of their data. I was able to learn the ropes on the CICD deployment by writing Jenkinsfiles and updating AWS configurations.

Technologies: AngularJS, Java RESTful APIs with Dropwizard.io, Wijmo, Jenkins, MySQL, AWS
