A small team, one shared workspace, and a stubborn belief that software should fit you.
BarakoTech is named after kapeng barako— the bold, no-nonsense Filipino coffee. That's the energy: strong, honest, a little stubborn about quality. We're the coffee shop down the street, not the chain.
A small team. On purpose.
We're a tight crew — engineers and designers who've worked together for nearly a decade. Small enough that you'll know us by the second call. Experienced enough that we've shipped enterprise software to thousands of users.
Backed by 10+ years of running projects, ops, and business development inside software companies. They translate between your team and ours — catching the things engineers don't think to ask, and making sure what we build actually fits how your business runs. Workflows-as-systems thinking, not just diagrams on a slide.
15+ years across web, mobile, cloud, cybersecurity, and product design. Active contributors in the Philippine open-source community. Hands-on-keyboard from day one, not delegating it down a chain. We like problems that look unsolvable on Monday and obvious by Friday.
Four things we won't bend on.
Every shop has its rules. These are ours.
Honest scoping
We'll tell you what something costs before you ask twice. If we think you don't need what you're asking for, we'll say that too.
Small by design
Our core team is on every project, every call. No account managers, no offshore handoffs, no “I'll have to check with the team”.
Ship, don't slide
We'd rather ship something small that works than something big that's almost done. Working software, every two weeks, no exceptions.
Yours when we leave
Code, infrastructure, documentation — everything is handed over. We earn your next engagement, we don't lock you into one.
