Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlejandro Barrientos is a senior engineering leader based in Amsterdam with 15+ years of hands-on and executive experience building and scaling software companies, including leading two successful M&A exits. He has grown global engineering and data teams (25+), delivered multi-million euro ARR, and runs cost-conscious operations while preserving compact, collaborative teams that ship reliable products. A former founder and CEO, he blends product-stage entrepreneurship with enterprise delivery—designing hiring pipelines, CI/CD practices, and infrastructure partnerships above €1M annually. He champions pragmatic adoption of AI in engineering—introducing “vibe coding” that generated ~40% of a team’s codebase to accelerate delivery without sacrificing quality.
