About
Hi, I'm Lucy Gomez Barron.
I spent nearly 9 years as a software engineer at Meta, working across some of the company's most technically challenging domains — from backend infrastructure to AR, graphics, sound engines, and camera pipelines.
Now, as CEO/CTO of NeuroBeatX and fractional CTO, I bring that same depth to early-stage companies. I help founders make the right technical decisions, avoid costly mistakes, and ship products that scale.
Whether you need someone to design your system architecture, optimize a slow app, or simply tell you what to build first — I've been there, and I can help.
See the full founder profile — a provisional patent application, publications, shipped products and credentials.
