A Little More About Me...

My name is Dan Barrett. I am a product-focused and customer-obsessed product & software engineering leader with 10+ years experience building and scaling tech startups from pre-seed to Series D. I love working with startups of all shapes and sizes but especially love the creative chaos of early stage companies.  Whether it's "we're gonna run out of money", or "oh crap, we built something no one cares about" or just your run-of-the-mill startup survival scenario, I'm the anti-fragile R&D leader who can navigate you through the storm.

​

As a hands-on CTO, Software Architect, and Engineer I've hand-crafted SaaS, Cloud, Big Data, and AI solutions for world-class organizations like Apple, Microsoft, Intel, Nike and Bank of America that have scaled to millions of users across the globe. 

​

I love building high-performing engineering organizations filled with radically empowered engineers who ship massive value, quickly, efficiently and at scale. I'm a organizational excellence nerd who puts just as much effort into the software development lifecycle as I do the code itself. 

 

I'm here to help teams win, while also growing careers and doing work we can be proud of that makes a real impact in the world.

I like you already and hope the feeling is mutual 🖤
