Steven R. Rakitin
I founded Software Quality Consulting in 1997. With over 35 years experience as a Software Engineer and Software Quality Manager, my consulting practice is focused on software for safety-critical industries (such as medical devices, nuclear power and transportation systems) and mission-critical projects —projects where software must work reliably.

I have an extensive network of experienced software engineers and consultants—all with demonstrated skills and impeccable credentials—that I draw on when the need arises. Together, we help clients develop, document and test safety-critical and mission-critical software using proven, practical techniques that are cost-effective and result in high quality software that is safe and reliable.

By focusing on providing tailored software development and software quality assurance services, my colleagues and I can meet your demanding schedules and provide the level of quality and documentation required for safety-critical industries and mission-critical projects.

Mission Statement:

To help create safety-critical and mission-critical software that meets our client’s needs, complies with all applicable standards and regulations, with the highest level of quality possible, and in the most cost-effective and timely manner possible.

Consulting Approach:

By working closely with clients, I become familiar with their products, their software development process, and their company culture. I often use a mix of consulting, training, and facilitating to build on what works and improve what doesn't. This approach ensures measurable improvements in product quality and predictability.

My effectiveness as a consultant is directly related to my ability to initiate change in an organization. As a result, I work hard to build positive relationships based on trust and mutual respect. This enables me to help clients solve a variety of problems as organizations expand and products mature.
