My contribution
Built the complete backend and production deployment, including APIs, data models, auth, payments, AI services, media, and cloud delivery.
The challenge
What the system had to solve
The platform had to support public health content and private member tools for two distinct care contexts—people and pets—without fragmenting the system.
