Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrei Barabas is a serial tech entrepreneur and product-focused CTO with 11 years of experience building and exiting startups—from early dorm-room SaaS to two acquisitions before age 30. He co-founded and led product and engineering teams across consumer and creator-focused businesses (ShareYourCart, Barandi, HiBeam, HiTide), combining hands-on development with GTM strategy and customer development. Known for obsessing over metrics, cohorts and rapid hypothesis testing, he repeatedly turns chaotic channels (DMs, comments, social commerce) into measurable growth engines. He brings practical payments and music-licensing experience from side ventures and enterprise integrations, and emphasizes hiring smarter specialists and finishing the last 20% that drives outcomes. Based in Romania, he’s currently focused on helping Shopify brands grow SMS lists through social DM automations while continuing to iterate on consumer product playbooks.
