Top SchoolGareth Baars is a founder and CEO with 15+ years of software experience and eight years focused on leading product and engineering efforts for .NET teams, currently running Intent Architect from Amsterdam. He architects AI-enabled, intent-driven code generation that helps enterprises and scale-ups standardize microservices, accelerate delivery, and maintain architectural intent without lock-in. Previously a CTO and solutions architect, he has hands-on experience designing large-scale, domain-driven systems using CQRS, event-driven patterns and microservices, and has led teams that turned struggling startups into profitable businesses. Gareth combines deep technical roots (BSc in Computer & Electrical Engineering) with practical delivery skillsโonboarding teams in hours, not weeksโand a penchant for using his own platform to prove productivity gains across finance, retail and telco customers. An unusual strength: he builds tools that let predominantly junior teams deliver robust, production-quality systems at scale.
