about me

It's an older spelling of Diane, if you were wondering how it's pronounced. Right now, I'm tech lead for Datastore at Beacon Biosignals, wrangling a mix of PostgreSQL, Snowflake, GraphQL (with Postgraphile), Kubernetes, and TypeScript to support EEG analysis and clinical trial facilitation.

I also develop software, provide technical writing and editing services, and consult on data modeling and Postgres implementation as Applied Poietics, LLC.

Otherwise and previously:

  • pdot, a tool for exploring the many different graph structures that make up your database, from foreign keys to trigger flow control and beyond
  • monstrous and MassiveJS, open source data mappers for NodeJS and PostgreSQL
  • staff engineer at Understory Weather, where I owned weather station logistics and traceability, maintained big data infrastructure and pipelines, and collaborated with hardware, field, and data science teams
  • data architecture, API development, and process for accessibility testing & compliance software at Deque Systems
  • and more!
