About me

Hello! I am Rodrigo Valdez and I’m truly passionate about the intersection between technology and entrepreneurship. For me, it’s all about fostering innovation and driving social development. I’m a firm believer that B Corps have a crucial role to play in making our world a better place.

When I’m not in the tech world, you can find me strumming away on my guitar or taking early morning jogs to clear my mind. Nature and travel is a big part of my life, and I love exploring the hills and rivers of my beloved Paraguay with friends, always with my camera in hand to capture those beautiful moments.

In my professional life, I founded Girolabs, a B Corp specializing in Software Development. I’ve come a long way from my beginnings as a web developer, where I honed my skills in Python with the Django framework. Over time, I’ve also mastered JavaScript, Angular, React Js, Jquery, and D3. I also have experience in PHP Open Source Platforms like WordPress, Drupal, Moodle, and more. Plus, I’m well-versed in managing Linux Servers and network systems.

You can see my full profile here.
