Project Summary

MentorMate developed a cloud-based mentorship management platform (Torace) for an education-focused client, guiding the project from a prototype through an in-depth design phase (journey mapping, user personas, wireframes) and into full development. The team built the app on AWS, delivered an initial MVP and a Jamstack marketing website, and the product has undergone soft launches with positive feedback for its intuitive UI and reliable performance; the engagement remains in production support.
