What im working on...

So it's about time i wrote a little bit about what I've been doing for work. While working in Ireland, I interviewed a guy named Dawid from Poznan and after we hired him he turned out to be a great developer. We got along well and started thinking about business ideas. It didn't take us long to realize that there wasn't much development talent in Ireland and that was one of the main reasons we saw many software projects failing or producing low quality software (one look at Bank of Ireland's Business Online banking software and you'd be convinced). We looked for an opportunity and when it finally arrived we made the right moves and launched our company. We hired a couple developers in Poland and were off. It's been almost 2 years since then, we've both transitioned to work at this full time, the company has gone through a name change, we've opened up an office in Poland and just a few days ago we launched our web page BarooSoftware.com just in time for the global downturn :)

What do we do exactly? We an outsourcing company that helps Software Product companies build their core product...we have a similar culture, very high hiring bar and we all come from a product development background. See our page to learn more.
