I had the opportunity to work with Valentin. Valentin is an exemplary leader with the highest sense of responsibility and accountability. I recommend him without reservation.

I had the opportunity to work with Valentin during the deployment of LIRR’s PTC, his technical knowledge and excellent customer interface have played a crucial role in this project. Valentin would not just play the lead tester role, but would also often provide solutions for issues identified on site, constantly helping the SI and the project team to complete one of the most complexes rail systems in the nation.
