Hello,
I'm Diana.

I'm a software development graduate who enjoys turning ideas into thoughtful, functional, and visually engaging digital experiences.

I earned my Bachelor of Applied Science in Software Development from Green River College. I enjoy working across frontend development, user interfaces, and problem-solving to make technology feel intuitive and approachable.

Originally from Ukraine and of Armenian background, I bring curiosity, adaptability, and a creative perspective to the things I build.

Developer by day. Probably debugging something by night.

Curious by nature. Developer by choice.

My path into technology combines logic and creativity. I like understanding how things work, figuring out why something isn't working, and finding ways to make the final experience better for the person using it.

Through academic projects, personal experiments, and collaborative work, I've explored web development, interactive applications, testing, and project planning. I'm always looking to learn something new and put it into practice.

Things I've built.

A mix of personal experiments, practical tools, and collaborative projects. Each one taught me something new.

01 Personal project

Collaborative research and software development.

More than just code.

When I'm not building something on a screen, I'm probably drawing, listening to indie music, exploring somewhere outdoors, or trying to rank up in a game. I'm also a sucker for Spotify playlists. Balance is important, even if my competitive side occasionally disagrees.

NASA, if you're reading this,
I have a few ideas.

I build thoughtful web experiences, enjoy solving tricky problems, and like turning ambitious ideas into something real. Whether you're building something for Earth or beyond it, I'm open to opportunities where I can contribute, learn, and make an impact.

And if you're not NASA, that's okay too. I answer emails from Earth.
