Animikii is an Indigenous digital agency, based out of Victoria, BC. As part of my work at Animikii, I was the lead developer on the San'yas online training project, which is run by the BC government's Provincial Health Services Authority. It is a large software project that was started in 2009 and powers the online courses offered to health care providers, people working in the legal system, civil servants and many others across Canada. As a Lead Developer I was responsible for setting up the software development process, including a CI pipeline, gathering requirements from the client and implementing new features on the platform.
