Hi, I’m Valentin – an Agile Enterprise Software Developer with a strong background in computer science. I’m passionate about improving the way software is developed using Agile and Scrum, believing that there’s always a better, more efficient way to build great products.
I’m an active member of various tech communities, holding roles such as Postman Supernova, GitLab contributor (ex-GitLab Hero), and AWS Community Builder. My journey in open-source spans many projects, including serving as a Joomla! CMS Bug Squad member, Joomla! Stack Exchange moderator, and part of the TYPO3 CMS Security Team. Open-source has played a crucial role in my career, and I’m dedicated to giving back to the community.
I joined Udemy to share my expertise and real-world experience with learners who want to enhance their skills in software development, API testing, DevOps, and Agile methodologies. My courses focus on practical, hands-on learning, ensuring that students not only understand the concepts but also know how to apply them effectively.
