Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolValentin Chevalier is a Senior Software Engineer with nine years of experience building reliable back-end systems and improving developer-facing documentation, currently driving product work at Odoo. He has strong roots in problem-solving and systems thinking dating back to childhood robotics and self-taught programming, which now translate into pragmatic contributions across Odoo’s sale, payment and product image modules. Valentin pairs engineering with verification rigor from his V&V role at Alstom, bringing systematic testing, regression practices and safety-conscious design to software projects. He has practical experience with payment integrations (Stripe), automatic invoicing flows, and clarifying complex features through clear documentation contributions to the widely used Odoo repositories. Comfortable across Linux, databases and web APIs, he also mentors young developers through CoderDojo and enjoys coaching teams informally. Meticulous and curious, he favors solutions that run “without a scratch” and balances deep technical focus with real-world product impact.
