Problem
Most mental wellness apps are passive — they track mood but don't actually engage with you. People struggling emotionally need something that listens and responds in real time.
What I Built
Built and shipped a full production AI voice companion — real-time empathetic voice conversations powered by Hume AI, automated journal summaries via OpenAI API, mood insights, auth, payments via Stripe, and rate limiting. Sole engineer on a live product with real users.
Challenges
Handling real-time voice AI reliably in production was technically demanding — latency, interruptions, and emotional tone detection all needed careful tuning. Building a product that felt genuinely caring rather than robotic required iterating heavily on the conversation flow.
Outcome
Shipped to production at emotisync.xyz. Acquired early users during testing phase. Full production architecture including voice AI, payments, auth, and database — built and maintained solo.
