Summary
David Barrick is a founder and CTO with over a decade of hands-on engineering and leadership experience building scalable products used by thousands across four venture-backed companies. Based in New York, he has led early-stage growth as a first hire at buildspace—helping scale the platform to 30k engineers—and has repeatedly built serverless backends and React frontends for consumer and civic projects. He founded Project Congress, a Product Hunt Top 10 launch, creating an open-source data scraper and a free tool that helps users track congressional activity by interest and location. Comfortable wearing many hats, David blends product intuition with infrastructure chops (AWS serverless, iOS, React) and a founder’s focus on shipping useful, well-architected systems.
