Deirdre Lyons
CEO and Founder of Examfly
The founder with a vision
The idea of Examfly was conceived when the Founder Deirdre Lyons who had always been an exceptional student tried to study for an exam along with her full-time job. She realised how difficult and taxing it could be.
She says, “It never leaves you though, just how difficult these exams can be. You’re working full-time and then trying to get your head into books and lectures. It’s a very passive way of learning.”
Lyons then delved into educational psychology, utilising innovative methods like gamification and data analytics to create an “active learning” platform.
This platform integrates animated explainer videos and visual learning aids like decision trees, mind maps, and personalised flashcards for effective revision. Additionally, Examfly offers a self-assessment tool, aiding users in optimising their study schedules by understanding their learning patterns.
Examfly’s journey with us
UI/UX phase
During this phase, we prioritised an intuitive design for both the admin dashboard and user apps. The admin interface was meticulously crafted for efficient administrative control, integrating comprehensive analytics, user management, and content oversight seamlessly.
Meanwhile, the user app for iOS and Android platforms focused on providing easy access to animated educational content, decision-making tools, and personalised study aids, ensuring an engaging learning experience.

Utilising advanced algorithms and analytics, we implemented performance analysis tools. These features offered instant, personalised feedback based on user performance, aiming to reinforce learning effectively.
DevOps integration phase
We prioritised an automated deployment pipeline utilising continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) methodologies. Implementing IaC allowed for swift, error-free updates and ensured consistent environments across development, testing, and production stages.
Additionally, leveraging cloud technologies and containerisation techniques like Docker, enhanced scalability, enabling the platform to efficiently accommodate expanding user bases.

Feature development challenges
Developing Examfly’s distinctive features encountered multifaceted hurdles. Crafting animated explainer videos demanded condensing complex subjects without compromising depth, while interactive games required merging educational content with engaging gameplay. Implementing real-time performance analysis posed intricate data processing challenges, ensuring swift and accurate feedback.
Creating organisation-specific leaderboards necessitated stringent privacy measures, and designing an enticing badge system involved striking a delicate balance between recognition and educational goals, all while maintaining user engagement and learning effectiveness.
