Summary
Michael Barabash is a pragmatic CTO and software architect with two decades of engineering experience and a decade in senior leadership, currently leading technology at LeadsMarket.com from Kyiv. He has repeatedly built and scaled mission-critical platforms—from fintech and sportsbook systems to large SaaS products—shaping architecture, CI/CD, microservices and team structures for organizations of 20–100+ engineers. A hands-on technologist since his .NET roots, he designed core system components at BETLAB and Luxoft and has a track record of driving performance-optimized backends and reusable libraries. Michael pairs deep technical craftsmanship with business-facing strategy, having moved from early-stage architect roles to running product streams and cross-functional teams as CTO. Unusually for an executive, he retains strong low-level familiarity (ADO.NET, WCF, actor models) that helps him debug hard production problems and mentor engineering leads.
