Problem

Runners lacked a true community-first platform.

Most apps focus on tracking, not connection between runners.

What I did

Built the iOS app, backend, and cloud infrastructure end-to-end.

Chose the stack, hired and led the tech team, and owned delivery.

Implemented Garmin + HealthKit sync and product UX.

Results

15k+ users with growing clubs and races across Italy.

Recognized as a reference point for Italian runners.

Why it matters

Shows 0-to-1 execution across product, engineering, and operations.

Demonstrates ability to scale a community-driven product.
