Victor Hernández Valdes

I’m passionate about data, focused on the details and completely oriented towards the value delivered in every project. I’ve worked on many projects in the last 5 years mostly on Data and Quality roles. I’m a strong believer that great solutions are the result of the sum  of a variety of expertise and perspectives rather than a single person's point of view.

I’m always eager to learn cutting edge technologies and aiming to automate processes in order to free-up time for things that deliver real value.
