Lea Rapido Speed-Reading Platform
January 2021
Helping Lea Rapido — a Medellin-based speed-reading academy — take its in-person course cross-platform with Flutter, Flare (Rive), Figma, and Sketch. We led a team of five mobile developers and copywriters under Agile, and architected a Ruby on Rails + Redis + PostgreSQL backend on AWS EC2/S3 that supports thousands of monthly users.
Overview
Lea Rapido is a speed-reading academy based in Medellin, Colombia, that teaches students to read 200 pages in 60 minutes with full comprehension. The project converted their formal in-person course into an engaging cross-platform mobile format — and the infrastructure to support it at scale.
Our team led both the mobile product and the backend platform, and drove the team that shipped them.
