The Team Behind Your App's Success

We started Matrixnet Bytestream because we kept seeing the same problem everywhere — brilliant apps that users abandoned because they were too slow, crashed too often, or drained batteries like there was no tomorrow.

How We Got Here

Back in 2019, I was consulting for a healthcare startup in Montreal. Their app was genuinely useful — it helped people track medications and connect with pharmacies. But users kept deleting it after a few days.

The problem wasn't the concept or the design. The app took 8 seconds to load on older phones, crashed when users tried to upload photos, and somehow managed to use more battery than GPS navigation apps.

That's when I realized there was a real gap in the market. Lots of companies build apps, but very few specialize in making them actually work well on real devices with real users.

We've optimized over 200 mobile applications across Canada, helping businesses retain users and reduce support complaints by focusing on what actually matters — performance that works in the real world.

What We Actually Do

Load Time Optimization

We dig into why your app takes forever to start and fix the underlying issues. Most apps can launch 60% faster with the right adjustments to image loading, database queries, and startup sequences.

Battery Usage Analysis

Nobody wants their phone dying by lunch because of your app. We identify what's draining power in the background and optimize CPU usage, network requests, and sensor access.

Cross-Device Testing

Your app needs to work on everything from brand new iPhones to three-year-old Android phones. We test performance across dozens of real devices to catch problems before users do.

Our Approach

1

Real-World Testing

We install your app on actual devices people use and document every slowdown, crash, and frustration point. No simulators — just real phones with real usage patterns.

2

Root Cause Analysis

Most performance issues stem from a few common problems. We use profiling tools and code analysis to identify exactly what's causing bottlenecks in your app.

3

Targeted Fixes

Rather than rebuilding everything, we make surgical improvements to the parts that matter most. Usually this means optimizing image handling, database queries, and memory management.

4

Ongoing Monitoring

Performance can degrade over time as apps grow and change. We help you set up monitoring tools and provide quarterly check-ups to catch issues early.

The People Doing The Work

We're a small team because mobile performance optimization requires deep expertise, not large teams. Every project gets direct attention from senior developers who've been doing this for years.

Marcus Thornfield, Technical Director

Marcus Thornfield

Technical Director

Marcus spent eight years at BlackBerry working on mobile OS performance before starting Matrixnet Bytestream. He specializes in Android optimization and has a particular talent for finding memory leaks that other developers miss.

Vincent Caldwell, Performance Engineer

Vincent Caldwell

Performance Engineer

Vincent comes from the gaming industry where every millisecond matters. He brings that same attention to detail to business apps, focusing on iOS optimization and battery usage analysis. He's also our go-to person for cross-platform performance issues.
