Over the years, I've worn many hats: engineer, analyst, product developer, technology executive—and through it all, one thing has become crystal clear: business owners often find themselves buried in the day-to-day grind, leaving little time for the big-picture stuff that truly matters. ​

That's where dataSmarts comes in. I started this venture to document and share what I know about AI and automation, to help entrepreneurs like you automate the mundane tasks that eat up your time and energy. By streamlining these processes, dataSmarts aims to boost your profitability and, more importantly, give you back control over your business and your life.​

Beyond the professional realm, I'm a husband and father to three boys and run a nonprofit animal rescue, Valentin Family Farm. Balancing family life with a demanding career, non-profit, and young athletes, has taught me the true value of time and presence. These personal experiences fuel my commitment to helping others find that same balance. ​

At dataSmarts, we're not just about technology; we're about creating space for you to focus on what you love, both in business and in life.

Let's work together to make your business work for you, not the other way around.
