Flex Pro Grip, a consumer fitness-products company. June to October 2024.

A scraper in 24 hours, then the engineer who shipped it

Flex Pro Grip needed sports data scraped quickly and had struggled to find developers it could work with. We delivered a working scraper the next day, placed the developer who shipped a rehab-targets feature to production the following month, and followed with an SEO audit and a code review.

Consumer fitness products. Talent, Data and Growth.

The situation

A fitness-product company needed sports data scraped quickly and had struggled to outsource its app development: finding developers it could work with had been the biggest obstacle. It also wanted direction on search and on what its analytics could become.

What we built

  • A working scraping prototype for the target sports data, delivered the next day

  • Candidate screening and interviews, and a Pakistan-based developer placed on Flex Pro Grip's product in July 2024

  • A dynamic rehab-targets feature, built by the placed developer and shipped to staging and production in July 2024

  • Technical oversight through Flex Pro Grip's GitHub organisation

  • An SEO audit and keyword plan, delivered in October 2024

  • An analytics discovery with a database schema and diagrams for a later machine-learning phase

  • An Elixir and GraphQL code review

What changed

Flex Pro Grip had its data the next day and praised the developer's first feature in writing. In October 2024 it introduced us to another firm unprompted, describing the founder as "tremendously knowledgeable in a host of areas".
