I’m Ian Valentine. With ten years of industry experience as a software engineer, support engineer, and software engineering coach, I can tackle a wide range of front-end, back-end, and full-stack projects.
Here’s what I’ve achieved:
- At Harvard University, I built a mini spreadsheet component for the university’s new custom-built online learning platform, contributing to a successful pilot of the platform
- I drove customer growth for a toll road system serving over 1 million vehicles per day by building a data validation API and several ETL microservices, owning the entire project from end to end
- I migrated the email service provider for a leading NYC real estate platform receiving 130 million visits per year, enabling greater flexibility and customization in their marketing and transactional emails
- I earned a 99% student satisfaction rating over six years of tutoring software engineering students at Flatiron School
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 by building features, writing clear and concise documentation, and mentoring other developers. I am especially interested in companies that offer flexible working hours and tuition reimbursement.
Interested?
