Instructor Details

Valentin Despa

I teach IT professionals what I wish I'd known earlier.

My foundation is built on years in the trenches as an Agile Enterprise Software Developer, engineering solutions for everything from fast-paced start-ups and SMBs to large global corporations. I hold recognized roles as an AWS Community Builder, Postman Supernova, and GitLab Hero, alongside a deep history of securing and building major open-source projects.

For over a decade, I've taken that real-world experience and quietly built one of the largest learning communities around API tooling, test automation, and DevOps practices. What started as a side YouTube channel turned into hundreds of thousands of learners, conference talks, and team workshops at companies most IT professionals have heard of.

The thread through all of it is the same: take something that looks intimidating and break it down so anyone can understand it in plain language.

Lately, I've been spending more time on practical AI in the workplace. I look at how teams can leverage AI for both everyday knowledge work and hands-on IT engineering, like coding and testing. I focus on cutting through the hype to figure out how AI actually helps IT professionals get work done, build, and ship faster. New formats, same approach.

Amazing, above expectation! Really nice tutorial and the instructor sounds so helpful with his voice, adds a bit of personal touch which is expected from a tutor

By Thirumalai Selvan Subbiah on 6/23/2026

The course content & demonstration is good. Appreciated. At least some of the exercises should engage us to do in parallel in a playground kind of environment. Since we attend this training from office laptop, we have lot of restrictions to install / configure anything on our own. Hence a playground will help for us to explore the learnings.

It's a good introduction, it could improve using newest models and information, for example links or where to find the same information he is looking at/for. So far so good, of course we need to continue investigating as this is only an introduction.

By Imran Ul Haq on 4/15/2026

Great Course! But is old as the new postman and other apps have totally different UI and that is too much confusing.

By Janmajaya Gantayat on 3/23/2026
