History of RubyGarage
In the very beginning, the company,s founders, Vladimir Vorobyev and Alona Mekhovova, worked as hired employees in typical outsourcing software development companies. They quickly realized that the majority of the companies did not aim to deliver quality products, but tried to sell as many man hours to their clients as possible, which meant bloated budgets, inefficient resource management and sluggish development process.
It was really difficult to stay business-oriented and solve problems for the end customer in such atmosphere. So, they decided to leave their jobs and establish a digital agency offering better quality, timely manner and reasonable cost comparing to other outsourcers on the market. RubyGarage was the name of the company - Ruby, a beautiful gem (and a programming language) and Garage - the place where you feel startup atmosphere every day. This literally means turning gems into beautiful solutions.
