Hi, I'm Diana Lim!

I'm a senior studying computer science, engineering entrepreneurship, and fine arts at the University of Pennsylvania. I'm passionate about building technology that empowers people, with experience in software engineering, entrepreneurship, and product design.

About Me

I’ve been coding since middle school, when I built my hometown newspaper’s first digital platform, scaling it to $100k+ in recurring revenue. My journey has since taken me to Apple, where I developed accessibility features, and to co-founding startups through programs like Penn Venture Labs Incubator and Bizworld's YES! accelerator.

I’ve led multiple ventures, including High School Connect, which matched students with internships, and NetGen, an automated network generator. My work has earned recognition in competitions like Dare2BDigital and hackathons like Google TeenTech and Meta HopperHacks. I’ve also driven growth initiatives, such as creating a viral freshman housing guide that topped Coda’s trending charts with 4,000+ views in a day.

Outside of tech, I enjoy creating, whether it’s through singing with the a cappella group that inspired Pitch Perfect or building a YouTube channel with thousands of subscribers.
