PRODUCT
A multi-sport beginning
The product was repositioned around athlete discovery, starting with five launch sports and a focused first phase.
Project 01 / Case study
SportsOpp
A place for athletes to be seen, and for the right people to find them.
A multi-sport talent-discovery platform connecting athletes with schools, clubs, and agencies. Built for web and mobile, with athlete profiles at its centre.
System architecture & flow
Media + CRM + Discovery
The story so far
7 milestones SECURITY
Trust boundaries made explicit
The security model established that clients cannot grant themselves privileged roles or paid-tier access, with hosting headers adding another layer of defence.
ENGINEERING
Athlete highlights go native
A Cloud Run and FFmpeg pipeline brought native highlight-video processing, with tiered limits and server-owned video lifecycle management.
OPERATIONS
Signup connected to CRM
Firebase signups began syncing to Zoho CRM, alongside marketing automation and separate role-based dashboards for athletes and organisations.
DISCOVERY
Finding athletes became a journey
The discovery experience grew with an organisation conversion funnel, a merged featured-athlete feed, and more expressive public profiles.
PLATFORM
Public profiles, built to scale
Guest profile previews and curated Explore feeds were paired with stricter Firestore owner-write rules and more resilient profile cards.
RELIABILITY
The edges got more forgiving
An authenticated-user bootstrap edge case was repaired and callable errors became clearer, making account setup and recovery easier to reason about.
