About Diane Corriette
Full-Stack Django Developer
I am Diane Corriette, a Django developer who specialises 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 and now focus on creating clean, maintainable code - from content management to custom eCommerce builds. I manage all my projects on a self-managed VPS and enjoy exploring how AI and automation can enhance independent web development.
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.
If you would like to connect or discuss development ideas, you can reach me directly on LinkedIn.
