Who you’re working with

Diana builds the software governments actually run. For over seven years she has architected and maintained high-traffic public platforms — including Uruguay’s national portal network and the official website of Montevideo — where accessibility, security, and uptime aren’t features, they’re obligations. If your project has to satisfy an auditor, a regulator, or a procurement office, this is whose calendar you want it on.

What it’s like to work with Diana

“Diana is the person who reads the compliance annex nobody else reads — and then quietly redesigns the data model so it passes. She translates technical trade-offs into language stakeholders and procurement officers actually understand, documents as she goes, and mentors the people around her. Teams that work with her ship calmer.”
