I'm Joel M. Valente!
About Me
I am a web developer from Buenos Aires, Argentina, passionate about creating functional and engaging digital experiences. I enjoy every stage of the process: from experimenting with new ideas to fine-tuning the final details.
My background is primarily self-taught: I learned by researching, reading documentation, and watching tutorials on the topics that excite me the most. In 2022, I participated in the Oracle Next Education (ONE) program alongside Alura Latam, which helped strengthen my technical foundation. Currently, I am taking an advanced UI Design course at Talento Tech (CABA) to enhance my focus on design and user experience.
I consider myself a curious, self-taught individual with a strong desire to keep growing. I don’t settle for the basics: I am always looking for new tools, technologies, and challenges that allow me to improve every day.
