Hello! I'm Diana Kris Navarro 👩🏻‍💻
A 24y/o Jersey City based Filipino engineer. I was part of the first class of Girls Who Code (that's me on the far left!) and since then I've worked at Gilt Groupe, Qualcomm, Adobe & I currently code at Tumblr.

I got to rep Girls Who Code at Governor Andrew Cuomo’s Women’s Justice Agenda. Hillary Clinton made some time for us :)
I was interviewed for a Forbes article. The CEO of AppNexus interviews me for a piece on women in technology.
I went to LA to be featured in a music video for a social good campaign for International Day of the Girl. (You can see me at 2:06 and 2:29) We were featured on Cartoon Network, MSNBC, Adweek and more! We also got a shout out from Erykah Badu, and Chelsea Clinton! 😍
I told my life story to Women of Silicon Valley for Filipino American History month. 🇵🇭 I was very overwhelmed by the response 😭
