Summary
Diana Garbarino is a Senior Software Consultant and Full-Stack Engineer with over a decade of experience rescuing and scaling mission-critical platforms for nonprofits, fintechs, and high-stakes media events. She combines a zero-failure engineering mindset—honed managing live global broadcasts like the Super Bowl—with hands-on expertise in React, Node.js, Python, Laravel, and cloud infrastructure. Diana specializes in technical forensics and legacy modernization, stepping into stalled codebases to deconstruct complexity and deliver reliable, production-ready roadmaps. As a fractional CTO and technical steward she owns long-term reliability and performance, often implementing bespoke automation (e.g., a Python-based emergency dispatch system for Bloodbikes Australia). Based in Campbell, CA, she partners autonomously with mission-driven teams to translate high-level goals into scalable architectures and measurable outcomes. Her background in broadcast QA gives her a distinctive emphasis on defensive coding, observability, and operational resilience that most full-stack engineers don't bring.
