Choosing a software partner for a fintech or insurtech platform is a risk decision. Ask where your data lives, whether it trains anyone's models, and whether every release leaves a trail you could show an auditor. Areusdev is a nearshore and offshore engineering partner in Romania and South East Europe. Our question list for fintech buyers: https://areusdev.com/resources/fintech-ai-software-partner-questions/

Prototype to medical device: requirements, safety class, SOUP list, traced verification, release record. Six records an auditor will ask for, and the best time to start them is before design transfer. https://areusdev.com/services/healthcare-technology/

Medical device software often starts as an experiment. Deciding early which prototype code you keep, and documenting why, saves months before an audit. How we work with medtech R&D teams: https://areusdev.com/services/healthcare-technology/

Romania didn't have its own ancestry DNA database. Now it does.

Through an EU-financed project, our team built it, together with the software around it: the laboratory information system, the analysis workflows and the secure portal. Genetic Lab was the laboratory partner. It started with 5,000 genotyped volunteers.

Each kit has a unique identifier. That's how each person reaches their own report, and how the lab result is filed against the right order.

Have you ever looked at your own genetic data?

Did you get an extra hour of sleep? Last night the clocks in Romania went from 04:00 back to 03:00, so 03:30 happened twice.

Fun for us, tricky for software: if two things were recorded at "03:30" last night, which came first? That's why good systems store time in UTC and only convert it for display.

One more: the US changes its clocks a week later, on 1 November, so this week Bucharest is 6 hours ahead of New York, not 7.

What did you do with your extra hour?

Most project trouble starts in the requirements, not the code.

A few habits help: start with the problem, not the feature list. Write down what's out of scope for the first release. Say how the system must perform, not only what it must do. And give every requirement acceptance criteria someone can actually test.

What's the one requirement you wish you'd written down earlier?

How to define software requirements that don’t derail your project Every year, millions of dollars and thousands of developer hours are wasted on software projects that fail to deliver. The culprit i

Building medical device software with an outside team? Your supplier should be able to prove the work was done, not just say it.

Can you follow one requirement all the way to a passed test? That means tracing it to its risk control, its tests and a recorded result on the version you actually released. We put the basics into 8 slides: who owns the chain, what to trace, the columns a working matrix needs, five checks before every release, and what a test record has to name.

Engineering guidance, not regulatory advice.

Which check would your team find hardest?

Some of our users carry binoculars, not laptops.

We built software that helps park rangers monitor the location, health and behaviour of mammals, fish and birds. Every observation lands on a map, and image recognition analyses footage to track where animals are.

Romania didn't have its own genetic database. Now it does.

Through an EU-financed project, our team built it, together with the software around it: the laboratory information system, the analysis workflows and the secure portal. Genetic Lab was the laboratory partner. The database is in use and holds 50,000 genetic records.

Each kit has a unique identifier. That's how each person reaches their own report, and how the lab result is filed against the right order.
