## About

Valentin Monteiro is an independent Data & AI consultant. He helps companies turn raw data into decisions and integrate artificial intelligence into their operations.

He is a developer and consultant. His approach: understand the client's context, identify high-impact levers, and deliver solutions that work. Concrete deliverables: code, measurable results, and knowledge transfer so teams can operate independently.

His guiding principle is the compound effect: every automation frees up time, every well-designed dashboard saves hours of reporting, every reliable data pipeline means one more decision made on facts rather than gut feeling.

## Story

Born in Aix-en-Provence, grew up in Haute-Savoie. First passion was mechanics — something concrete, logical, where every part has a function.

March 2020 lockdown was the turning point. Discovered data through the live streams of Anis Ansari (Defend Intelligence). Python, SQL, visualization — the spark caught. Followed up with a Data Analyst program at OpenClassrooms.

Moved to Portugal, landed first real data role: Business Analyst at Teleperformance on a Google project. Built the first team performance dashboards, automated reporting (ten hours per week recovered), identified quick wins in sales data. Google taught rigor, data culture, collaboration at scale.

Moved to Tbilisi, Georgia — initially a one-month ticket that became a life. Founded independent consulting practice to choose the problems to solve and the shape the impact would take.
