Valentin Secades Mendez

With over 26 years of experience in the IT services sector—17 of those spent driving innovative solutions in web, mobile, firmware, and IoT—I am passionate about transforming technology into strategic outcomes for businesses. Methodical and goal-oriented, my career has been built around leading projects from concept to delivery, always prioritizing on-time, on-budget execution while aligning with the broader business goals of my clients. Whether it's deploying cutting-edge web platforms, creating intuitive mobile applications, or developing IoT systems, I strive to bring a holistic approach to each project.Currently pursuing my MSc in Embedded Systems, my focus is on advancing solutions that merge embedded hardware with cognitive machine learning algorithms for smart devices. My goal is to push the envelope on how we integrate intelligent technologies with physical hardware, optimizing performance and user experience across industries. Latest inception on the above is the use of agentic LLM based frameworks, as well as RAG implementations for clients in e-commerce, Internet of Things and custom software implementations.I have a proven track record of managing complex, multi-disciplinary projects while maintaining a focus on quality, scalability, and efficiency. My hands-on expertise ranges from firmware and mobile development to Web and cloud-based solutions, making me adept at navigating both the software and hardware aspects of modern technology ecosystems.Connection Note: I only accept connection requests from individuals I have met in person, on the phone, or online. If we haven’t met yet, please include a brief message to start a meaningful conversation.Core Skills:- Data cleanup and selection for multimodal LLM implementation- Machine Learning for supervised/unsupervised model implementation- AI model delivery pipelines and scaling mechanisms- Embedded Systems, IoT Solutions- Software & Firmware Development- Agile Methodologies & Scrum- Cognitive Machine Learning Algorithms- Web & Mobile Technology Integration- Strategic Project Management & DeliveryTechnologies:- Hybrid Mobile Development (React Native, Ionic)- Embedded Systems (C/C++, ARM, IoT Frameworks)- Cloud Solutions (AWS, GCP, Azure)- Web Technologies (PHP, Python, Kotlin, JavaScript, TypeScript, Node.js C#)- Machine Learning & Cognitive Algorithms- Firmware Development- Continuous Integration & Continuous Deployment (CI/CD)- Cross-Platform / Cross-Domain Solutions (Mobile, IoT, Web)- API Development & Integration- Data Analysis & Processing
