Software and IT systems expert Ruairi Browne runs Kro IT Solutions, Ireland's
fastest growing custom software development company. He has twelve years solid experience of software development with Microsoft Ireland and several other cutting edge organisations. He has also worked with smaller companies such as suppliers to the food industry, small finance companies, and consultancy firms.
Ruairi has an honours B.Sc. in Computing Science from Griffith College with
further education from Leicester University and Dundalk Institute of Technology.
Ruairi started working in IT as an analyst programmer in 1998 for
DEM Machines in Naas, Co. Kildare where he developed bespoke
software systems for companies such as Dunnes Stores.
In 2000 Ruairi moved to
Zomax Limited,
a large multinational company that provided custom software solutions to large
companies such as Microsoft, Oracle, and Bord Failte.
In May 2001 Ruairi took
advantage of an offer from
Microsoft
to come and work for them in their own offices in Sandyford. Microsoft was a
huge learning experience and helped develop his project
management and business skills to a high level.
In late 2003 Ruairi got an offer from Zomax to return and assist with some new
and exciting software they were creating. It was a 12 month contract and offered
him the perfect opportunity to get back into working on customer facing projects
and to put his experience in Microsoft to use.
2004 saw the Zomax project sucessfully conclude and Ruairi began to work
in Garda HQ. He was working on the
PULSE project and it really opened his eyes to the impact of large
consulting firms on software development.
In 2006 Ruairi got a job working for
Fintrax Teo in Galway
as a permanently employed senior developer. At Fintrax Ruairi continued to
develop his experience and attend training courses.
By 2008 Ruairi and Edel knew they were ready to start this business and bring
their vision of high
quality custom software to enterprises across Ireland.
