Flor Luz Duarte profile picture

Hello! My name is Florencia Luz Duarte. I am a Front-end Developer and Product Designer based in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

My Story

After 10+ years working as a Designer, I decided to give programming a chance and it ended up stealing my heart (professionally speaking).

What started with a few lines of code, ended up scaling to a professional transformation, which has led me to learn web programming on my own for the last 2+ years.

During this process, I have managed to:

  • 1. Develop multiple websites/apps for different clients.
  • 2. Build a tech community for programmers called Unicornio Dev.
  • 3. Create technical content and open source projects on multiple platforms.
  • 4. Actively collaborate with other technology communities in LATAM.
  • 5. Be a recurring speaker at web development events.
  • 6. Give +30 free mentoring sessions to other developers.
