Classroom software for a national math program.

A five-year partnership building the web software around TiViTz, an educational math game: the main site, a Laravel teacher portal, the TiViTz Tuesdays engine, and the email marketing that reached teachers and schools nationwide.

The challenge

TiViTz, a math strategy game, grew into a whole ecosystem: a public website, tools for teachers, a recurring nationwide program, and constant outreach to schools. Each piece needed real software behind it, and a team that could build it, run it, and coordinate with the other vendors working on the game itself.

What we did

We built and ran tivitz.com on a custom WordPress theme, and designed and developed the TiViTz Teacher Portal, a Laravel web application where teachers manage rosters, invite colleagues, issue head-to-head challenges, and track results. We built the engine behind TiViTz Tuesdays, the recurring program, including a check-in service for live events. And we ran the email marketing, the branded campaigns and outreach that kept teachers and schools engaged. We helped steer the wider project and worked alongside the game and fundraising vendors so every piece fit together, with hosting and ongoing care throughout.

The outcome

A five-year partnership. The main site, teacher portal, Tuesdays engine, and email program ran as one connected experience behind a national education initiative, supporting real classrooms and real teachers, not a demo.

Patrick has an in-depth knowledge of current technologies and the judgment to apply them well. He built interfaces to financial institutions, managed offshore vendors, and delivered on time and on spec. I would recommend him unreservedly.
