Hire a developer you'll love.

I'm Ian Valentine. With eight years of industry experience as a software engineer, support engineer, and software engineering coach, I can tackle a wide range of back-end, full-stack, and DevOps projects.

I learned the fundamentals of software engineering at Flatiron School, where I later worked for six years as a software engineering coach. Concurrently, I have been focusing on back-end development and DevOps, creating and maintaining ETL pipelines and APIs, building and managing AWS environments, and more.

I love to help people and share knowledge, whether it's by collaborating on a challenging task or by writing clear and concise documentation. When I was first learning Ruby on Rails, I asked a question on Stack Overflow that has now garnered over 10,000 views, earning me the Famous Question badge.

My goal is to join a product-driven company where I can have an impact — building features, creating and maintaining infrastructure, writing documentation, and mentoring other developers. I am especially interested in companies that offer tuition reimbursement.
