Client & Product
Avalora is a winter sports analytics platform designed to serve fans, journalists, federations, and professional analysts. The platform aggregates real-time race results, athlete performance data, event schedules, and leaderboards across all major winter disciplines — including Alpine Skiing, Cross-Country, Freestyle, Nordic Combined, Ski Jumping, and Snowboard. Available as both a web application and a native mobile app, Avalora delivers a seamless, data-rich experience with personalized content feeds, live event streaming with commentary, and federation-verified statistics. The platform bridges the gap between raw competition data and accessible, fan-friendly insights.
Key Challenges Solved
Real-Time Data at Scale: Winter sports events generate high-frequency data — split times, speed measurements, live rankings, and race conditions — all updating simultaneously across multiple concurrent events. The platform required a robust real-time data pipeline capable of handling thousands of updates per second without latency or data loss, ensuring users always see current standings and metrics.
Cross-Platform Consistency: Delivering a consistent, high-quality experience across web browsers, iOS, and Android required a shared design system and component library, with platform-specific adaptations for gesture navigation, notification handling, and offline caching. Maintaining design parity while respecting platform conventions was a key engineering challenge.
Athlete & Event Data Complexity: The platform aggregates athlete profiles, historical results, seasonal rankings, and competition calendars spanning dozens of FIS competition series, national championships, and Olympic events. Normalizing and relating this data across disciplines, seasons, and formats required a flexible yet performant data model.
Personalized User Experience: Users range from casual fans to professional sports analysts. The onboarding flow collects user preferences — disciplines of interest, favorite athletes, preferred competition series — to deliver a tailored home feed, subscriptions to relevant events, and recommended content. Balancing personalization depth with onboarding simplicity was a critical UX challenge.
Live Video + Data Integration: A standout feature of the platform is simultaneous live race video streaming alongside real-time analytics — split times, speed data, and gap charts update in sync with the race broadcast. Synchronizing video playback state with live data streams, while maintaining performance on mobile devices, required careful architecture and WebSocket-based data delivery.
