Meet FocalGroove LLC

FocalGroove LLC is a strategy-first digital studio in Concord, North Carolina, founded in 2024 by Mark Shropshire and Bayo Fodeke. We bring senior engineering and honest strategy to mid-market organizations, without agency layers.

Our web and app practice focuses on Drupal, decoupled Drupal with React and Next.js, and Flutter mobile apps. That includes builds, audits, security, performance, and long-term support. We also work on search (SEO, AEO and structured data) and content strategy, and we produce video and podcasts in our own Groove Studio.

We give back to the open source community that built our careers. Our team maintains security and decoupled projects on Drupal.org, speaks at DrupalCon and regional camps, and runs local developer meetups. Cabarrus Regional Chamber of Commerce 2025 New Business of the Year.

Drupal Contributions

FocalGroove’s team has contributed to Drupal since 2004, and contributing is part of how we work.

Code and maintenance: we maintain contributed projects, mostly around security hardening and decoupled Drupal, and keep them current through Drupal core upgrades. We write patches, review and test issues, update documentation, and help maintainers in the issue queues. Our maintainers take part in Drupal’s security advisory process: we triage reports, coordinate fixes, and keep covered projects eligible for security advisories.

Knowledge sharing: we speak at DrupalCon and regional camps on decoupled architecture, testing and security, and publish talks and slides so others can learn from them. We also join podcasts and community discussions on Drupal security.

Community: we organize and volunteer at Drupal camps, including supporting Drupal Camp Asheville. We mentor newer developers and contributors, and run local developer meetups in Concord, North Carolina, that welcome people from across the web community.

We give back because Drupal and its community built our careers.
