By providing 24/7 instant and private support at the push of a button, we aim to address the significant gaps in mental health care accessibility.

  • Cloud infrastructure expertise (Google Cloud Platform)
  • Proficiency with relational + vector/search systems and real-time communication (sockets, WebRTC)
  • Nice to have: Swift (iOS client integration)
