🙋🏻‍♂️ Why me?

  • Polyvalent: My combined business / software engineering background enables me to work on both the strategic and technical aspects of your project.
  • Communicative: I take pride in updating my clients regularly on the current state of the project, and simplifying the technical aspects to the maximum.
  • A global and unique perspective: The variety of experiences I’ve had enable me to have a global, unique perspective on your project and generate creative / novel ideas.
  • Quick learner: I’ve spent the past couple of years constantly switching from one team to the next, from one technology to the other. This taught me autonomy and the ability to integrate teams quickly in order to waste as little time as possible at the start of a project.

Outside of work I have a deep passion for aviation, travel, and adventure. I’ve taken a Private Pilot License (PPL) course back when I was still in high school, and had reached all 7 continents (Antarctica included!) by age 23.

I look forward to working with you!

“Valentin quickly understood the stakes of the mission. Despite tight timing, he went into the code and adapted himself to the existing architecture. One of his strengths is testing. After realizing a feature, he ensures that it works well in all possible use cases, ensuring an optimal level of quality. I recommend Valentin and would not hesitate to call him again.”

– Thomas Acchiardo, Co-Founder of Le 24/24

“One of Valentin’s most commendable traits is his ability to run with an idea. We would meet briefly to discuss a concept and possible direction – and he would take it from there. His autonomy is remarkable. He was able to take our initial concepts, understand them completely, and then independently manage, solve, and even anticipate a myriad of complex issues that arose during the development process. He is a true problem solver, and his proactive nature consistently prevented many iterations of re-work.

– Grant Grigorian, Founder & CEO of Mogi Technologies

“I strongly recommend Valentin if you are a non-technical founder or your startup needs fractional technical leadership. Valentin is a seasoned professional who is able to bridge hands-on-keys coding with strategic technology frameworks and decision-making. His approaches are thoughtful, diligent, and deliver rapid impact.

– Will Glazener, Co-Founder & COO of Terralytiq
