Valentin is a very talented FX TD, flexible and always in a good mood ! He can handles a lot of tough situations and can work under pressure of tight deadlines. It was a real pleasure working with him during these weeks at Supamonks !

I have spent a lot of time working in the same room as Valentin during my graduation year and I can say he's a cheerful, friendly and smart human being. Always humble, always patient and willing to give a hand by providing some scripts or technical help. He was able to learn how to and write thousands of lines of code on his own, using pure determination and the will to push forward his team and mates. He is now focusing on VFX and from what I have seen of his Maya scripting/realflow work, he is a guy that should be watched closely and invested in.
