Chief Technology Officer, TSV Online Fitness
Chief Technology Officer, TSV Online Fitness
The Sculpted Vegan is an online fitness company that offers fitness programs to thousands of customers globally. When I first started work with The Sculpted Vegan they were a website only platform offering traditional fitness programs to customers asPDF's behind a paywall. My role was to transform their business model from traditional one-time payment PDF's to an interactive and engaging native iOS and Android mobile app and SASS product to rival the top competitors in the fitness market. This role began as a side project in the evenings after my work at Reward Insight during the day.
I spent 11 months developing the app from designing mockups, UI/UX and FE code to server and database setup and backend nodeJS server integration via Heroku and AWS. It was a challenging and satisfying project to take a traditional non-digital product and rebuild it from the ground up into an engaging native app solution. Upon launch in November we built revenues of £70,000+ in subscriptions in only 3 months and had my work featured in several articles online.
The app currently has a rating of 4.4 in the iOS app store(as of march 2022) and has thousands of customers worldwide. Part of this project was also tracking detailed user journey statistics via an analytics dashboard to display key metrics, revenue figures and interactions of the customer within the apps functionality. The app has a rich feature set that really touched the breadth of my knowledge as a developer from a custom built facebook style community utilising live feeds via web sockets to native in-app payments integrations and detailed customer fitness progress tracking.
Server side scale and management of growth was of the upmost importance with the app being downloaded by thousands of users on launch day so I used Heroku auto scaling to help manage traffic spikes on both my nodeJs server and postgres database. Just before launch of the app to customers I was offered the full-time role of CTO at The Sculpted Vegan to continue development of the app feature-set based on customer feedback as well as help manage the cross section of technology used within the business and scale up a team.
