About
Django Backend Developer
I am Diane Corriette, a Django backend developer and full-stack software developer specialising in eCommerce systems. My work blends Python, Django, and TailwindCSS to build structured, scalable applications for small businesses and personal projects.
After years in digital marketing, I transitioned into software development to create the tools I once relied on. I focus on clean, maintainable code and backend systems that keep businesses running efficiently - from content management to custom eCommerce builds.
This portfolio highlights the projects I have completed, the frameworks I am exploring, and my ongoing learning journey - including deeper work with Astro for frontend development and experiments in AI tool creation.
I enjoy sharing what I build and learn. If you would like to connect or discuss development ideas, you can reach me directly on LinkedIn.

My Personal Portfolio Blog
Behind every line of code is a story. I use this space to write mine — what I am building, breaking and debugging, plus what I am figuring out along the way. I learn and document as I go, so I share my builds, experiments, and reflections. Some posts are technical, some are personal — all part of growing as a developer who loves the backend side of things.
