A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this
client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the CTO of a cybersecurity development company that is the product arm of a federal consultancy. We focus on software development and try to facilitate our customers’ journey through cloud-native infrastructure while being mindful of modern security practices.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with CSHARK?
I had been tasked with finding a set of developers to build out an open-source core engine.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
Although CSHARK strength is .NET development, they put together a team of software developers that work with Golang and are familiar with Kubernetes, the cloud-native ecosystem that offers the Cloud-Native Computing Foundation (CNCF).
Most of the work that we’re doing is built in Go, but they also make use of Kubernetes and perform integrations with various standard open-source platforms and tools. Essentially, I designed the core platform, and they’re now implementing it.
What is the team composition?
We’re currently working with four backend developers from CSHARK, and they act as a virtual extension of our team. They also provide us with a project manager who assists us with Scrum.
How did you come to work with CSHARK?
I did some research and found a list of various software houses around the world. In that list, I came across CSHARK and contacted them. I’m pretty happy with our journey so far.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent around $300,000–$350,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working together in August 2020 with just one developer. The second developer joined in September 2020, and the other two joined in November 2020. We’re still working together.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
CSHARK is very professional, and we’re very satisfied with their work. One of our milestones was a core open-source piece of software, and it is available now. They did a phenomenal job.
How did CSHARK perform from a project management standpoint?
CSHARK performs very well, and they have delivered on every milestone on time or even before the deadline. They have great availability and transparent communication. Additionally, they always look for ways to support their customers and ensure their satisfaction.
We work on standard Agile two-week sprints, and they provide us with reports whenever we need them. Everything works great.
What did you find most impressive about them?
CSHARK cares — they’re an impressive organization. Their developers care about building relationships with the customer, and they do a really good job. I’ve worked with various vendors in different consulting companies, and I’m impressed with what CSHARK is doing.
Are there any areas they could improve?
It would be great if CSHARK could build up their bench strength or have a more streamlined way of bringing in new candidates. The only problem that we’ve come across is staffing shortages. Part of the challenge is that we’re looking for amazing Golang developers, but everyone is trying to hire them, and there aren’t many candidates out there.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Put in the necessary work on planning out what you need to get done; it will save you a lot of time and get you the desired results faster.

CSHARK is developing custom software using C#. The software includes a number of different user modules, including an admin module that has various user dashboards and registration wizards.
CSHARK has been able to track the progress of the project really well which has resulted in saving valuable time. They hold biweekly meetings so they know everything is accurate to proceed. Having a project manager that oversees developers is really helpful in terms of quality and timeliness.
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this
client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
HTP J-1 Visa Programs places exchange visitors from all over the world in internships, training programs and teaching opportunities in the US. We carefully screen exchange visitors, interview them, review documents and make sure they meet all regulatory requirements. We help them prepare for their stay in the US, and provide ongoing support while they’re here.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with CSHARK?
Since there isn't an off-the-shelf software application that meets our needs, we wanted to build that system from the ground up and that’s why we hired CSHARK.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
They use C# to develop the software. There are four main user groups that use the application: our team members, the exchange visitors, host organizations and agents.
The application has a number of modules that store information about the exchange visitors, one has all the information about the host organizations, one is for agents, and one is for reporting daily information about the status of all of our applications and a number of other reports. The final module is the admin module that allows us to do administrative functions behind the scenes. The application also has various user dashboards as well as a number of registration wizards for the various user groups.
What is the team composition?
My main point of contact is a project manager who oversees a team of developers.
How did you come to work with CSHARK?
I wasn't happy with the company I was previously working with, so I started searching for other nearshoring software developers. I read a lot about quality developers in Poland, so I researched developers in Poland. CSHARK was a company that consistently ranked high in various review sites. I reached out to the CEO and from there the conversation started. I considered two other companies as well during my vetting process but opted for CSHARK.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent about $60,000 so far.
What is the status of this engagement?
We began working together in November 2019 and the relationship is currently ongoing.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Extremely pleasant to work with, all the way from initial contact with CEO, through business development and onboarding. Excellent transition and knowledge transfer process from the previous developer. CSHARK has strong, detailed operating processes for managing the project. This includes a heavy focus on QA. Our strong project manager ensures that the project stays on track. The developers are detailed, knowledgeable and think three steps ahead. The impact of the engagement is the accelerated progress of project.
How did CSHARK perform from a project management standpoint?
They've been excellent. We have biweekly refinement meetings where we discuss items in the backlog and prioritize them. The devs want to ensure that they completely understand a backlog issue before addressing it. During biweekly delivery meetings, they demo the previous sprints before releasing them to a staging environment for testing.
What did you find most impressive about them?
The quality of the processes that they have in place and the internal controls to make sure the project stays on track.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, there’s nothing at this time.
