The people who build Shedams
Posts under this byline are written by the people who build and run Shedams, and checked by its two founders before they go out.
Shedams was designed by Oluseyi "Shedams" Olusore, a coach of more than two decades, and built by John Ajah, who brought his own stage 1 hypertension under control before the two of them started work on it. The platform grades effort against your own baseline rather than against anybody else, which is the view the writing here comes from.
Experience
- Oluseyi Olusore has coached for more than twenty years, and built the fitness card game Shedams grew out of to keep his own clients moving between sessions.
- John Ajah builds the platform, from the app to the systems behind it, and manages a diagnosed blood-pressure condition of his own.
- Shedams is used by people aged 13 to 93 and runs community challenges for schools, clubs and workplaces.
