It was through Barry at IndigoVision that I got my first stab at writing commercial software back in early 2006. The interview was searching yet relaxed (“‘Ow d’ya fancy writing GUIs?”). It was my first foot into the door of what has since been a lucrative engineering career for me. Though I never knew Barry personnally, …

I only had the pleasure of meeting Barry once in person, but I won’t forget his passion and shear enthusiasm that he exuded. He believed in me giving me an opportunity to join his company and the change I desperately needed at the time. For that he will always have my thanks and gratitude. …

It has taken me a few days to find the words that I wanted to add to my condolence message for Barry, but after deliberating, I thought I would add some notes on our first and last meetings. I first met Barry when I joined Cambridge Judge Business School and we were looking to …

I had met Barry just the once in person, but have been on multiple online calls with him. We once had a long chat where I was asking and he was telling me about his career and how he had done some work programming for satellites in space! I found this fascinating. He inspired …

Very sad to hear about Barry’s passing. I remember being at the office the first time and Barry showing us new parts of TermTime in such an enthusiastic manner (‘look at this, this is amazing!’) and that is exactly how I will remember him: enthusiastic and passionate and always willing to share his thoughts …

Barry’s passing I was so sad to hear of Barry’s recent death. In the current environment, it has been impossible for us to see each other for nearly a year now. Barry was a larger-than-life character who lived his life to the fullest. Even when seriously ill he continued to work giving his all …
