The Context
Mental health support is expensive and inaccessible for most people. Meomind’s approach: build a platform around a curated library of real therapy sessions, AI-driven assessments, and guided tools that users can engage with on their own terms and schedule, at a fraction of traditional therapy costs.
The platform is live, serving real users in a sensitive domain. “It’ll do for now” isn’t an acceptable standard when you’re handling data about people’s mental health.

Live healthcare product — reliability is non-negotiable
What I Do
As lead backend engineer, I carry the backend day-to-day. This is ongoing work — not a one-time build.
Feature development: I design and ship new features in the Python/Django codebase — new content delivery capabilities, assessment flows, personalisation hooks, and API endpoints consumed by the mobile and web clients.
Production reliability: A live healthcare product can’t have unexplained downtime or data issues. I maintain monitoring, debug production incidents, manage database performance, and keep the AWS infrastructure healthy.
API stewardship: The backend serves both mobile and web clients. I own the REST API contracts — versioning, consistency, and backward compatibility when the product evolves.
Codebase ownership: When you’re the lead engineer, there’s no one to hand off hard problems to. I’ve built a deep understanding of this codebase’s history and constraints, which means I can make good decisions quickly.
Why It Matters
In healthcare, reliability isn’t a nice-to-have — it’s the product. Being trusted to lead the backend of a live mental health platform is a specific kind of trust: the kind that comes after proving you understand the domain, take the responsibility seriously, and deliver without hand-holding.
This engagement is also evidence that I work well over time. Long-term clients who keep expanding my scope are more valuable signal than a one-time delivery.
