Dmitry Zaets is a pragmatic technology leader and co-founder currently serving as CTO of a stealth startup in Barcelona, with 11 years of hands-on experience building SaaS and AI-enhanced products. He has repeatedly led full lifecycle engineering—from assembling teams and bootstrapping projects to designing scalable architectures and shipping production Node.js/React platforms. Dmitry blends deep backend and infrastructure expertise (microservices, CI/CD, containers, Kubernetes) with a strong product sensibility honed across startups and a digital product studio he co-founded. An active community organizer and speaker in Barcelona’s JavaScript and .NET scenes, he also builds practical tooling for recruiters and developers, reflecting an interest in developer experience beyond pure engineering. Collected through roles as CTO, tech lead, and consultant, his work emphasizes measurable business impact and pragmatic AI integration rather than academic novelty.
