Case studies
Forte
Platform Development
August 2022 - Present
Scaling a Music Education Platform
Forte launched in 2020 with a mission to revolutionize music education. Their initial prototype proved demand but faced technical limitations—especially in video call quality and scalability. To support rapid growth, they needed a complete rebuild with a future-proof architecture.
CyberGRX
Staff Augmentation
September 2018 - December 2021
Enterprise Third-Party Risk Management
Dev Shack provided Staff Augmentation for CyberGRX over 3 years, acting as the resident experts in Typescript, React, and GraphQL while helping develop their full-time engineering team.
Our team took on significant technical leadership roles, with Matt becoming the GraphQL expert, Mike leading frontend development for a critical microservice, and Will co-leading a complete reimagining of the Knowledge Graph system.
With contributions including expert full-stack development, sophisticated data visualizations, and deep performance-tuning, [Dev Shack]'s expertise and the resulting work have always been outstanding.

Mazey
Platform Development
April 2016 - April 2019
Team Collaboration Made Simple
Mike and Matt were brought on as the two full-time engineers to lead the engineering effort of Mazey, working closely with the two co-founders. Mazey would become the all-in-one solution for teams to share notes and documents, keep track of tasks, and communicate effectively across iOS, Android and Web platforms.
The team built React Native apps for iOS and Android alongside a React web app, iterating rapidly to develop features that resonated most with users.
UtilityAnswer
Platform Development
October 2015 - April 2016
Personalized Electric Shopping
Dev Shack was brought on to iterate quickly with the Technical Founder to scope out, design, build, and launch their platform, featuring many custom advanced interactive D3 widgets.
Working together, we struck a careful balance between informing the customer with relevant data while making a complex topic simple and approachable.
Finding good engineers is hard, and Dev Shack stands out as one of the best. Mike and Matt worked on the launch of UtilityAnswer and helped us through various iterations of our interface. As a team, they complement each other well. They both make sound decisions, collaborate and support other team members, and they move fast to deliver quality products. Mike has an extra sensitive eye for presentation and UI in brainstorming sessions, and Matt is able to handle complex code with ease. Individually, and as a team, they are able to traverse the full stack and they constantly maintain a pulse on new technology to advance their capabilities. I would highly recommend Dev Shack to technical and non-technical colleagues.

JMU Bus App
Mobile App Development
September 2009 - May 2021
JMU Bus App
Created during Matt's freshman year as a personal project, the JMU Bus App evolved into an essential tool used daily by over 20,000 students. Featuring innovative crowd-sourced bus tracking, holiday routes, dynamic schedule adjustments, and an advanced route-finding system.
Built as Native iOS and Android apps, it was maintained for over 12 years and underwent multiple design iterations, following the design patterns and best practices of both platforms.
[Matt] has done all the app development independently and I am very impressed with his programming and interface design skills. The app will become indispensable.
Dr. Anthony Teate
Professor, Integrated Science and Technology
James Madison University
When COVID-19 struck, we had to make a mad scramble to put something in front of our customers to help save small businesses. Matt and Mike came in with expertise and speed that I have never seen before. In such a critical time, they were fundamental to our success.
