Dublin Padel League
Built and manage the complete online platform for Dublin's largest padel league, handling 250+ players across 8 venues with real-time rankings and automated match scheduling.
The Challenge
Padel is exploding in Dublin, but league organization was stuck in spreadsheets and WhatsApp groups. Players couldn't track their progress, organizers spent hours on admin, and the sport's growth was limited by manual processes.
I saw an opportunity to build something that would scale with the sport's growth while making life easier for both players and organizers.
