About Myself

Currently I live and work in St.-Petersburg, Russia. I am running small software development company. We are specialized in Agile RoR development at this moment.

My background was in Java web development for one of the top global IT operators. After that I worked as a sales manager for global IT consulting firm.

Then I and my partner established a new company, where i work now. At the first time we were MS guys and worked with .NET and SharePoint. Later we hired some guys for Java projects. And finally about year ago we started Rails department, where most employers work now. Most of our clients are small and medium companies from US and Europe.
During last 5 years I worked with many clients (mostly from US and EU) and a found a lot of well and excellent
IT services providers from Eastern Europe, Russia and India. In the same time i also realized that thousands of individuals and small companies from that region has extremely low quality of services, which may confuse clients and make them keep out of outsourcing at all, considering it as useless wasting money.

I strongly believe that we are moving to the era of global economy and IT area is on top of these trends. Internet and communication technologies born a new economic phenomena - distributed teams. Software outsourcing to other countries is just a one case of it.
Imagine that you own CA-based company and need to hire 10 new coders for your project:
Few years ago: you go to dice.com and look for CA coders with needed skills or contact recruiting agency
Now: There are global pools of services so you can find NY based team of ten developers exactly as you need.
So my idea is that currently focus is shifting from geographical location to actual skills that every person or company has. Only new technologies in communication and project management make this possible.
The global aim of Wolf Services organization that i established is to give all skilled people and good companies around the world equals opportunities and to help companies to archive most.
