I spearheaded the development of Sanyas.ca, a comprehensive mental health resource platform serving healthcare professionals and the general public across Canada. I designed and implemented a scalable web application using React and Node.js, incorporating an interactive directory of mental health services, real-time appointment scheduling, and secure patient-provider communication channels.
Working with a cross-functional team of five developers and three UX designers, I delivered the platform within a six-month timeline. I integrated multiple healthcare provider databases and implemented HIPAA-compliant data protection measures. Since its launch, the platform has grown to serve over 50,000 monthly active users and has facilitated more than 75,000 mental health consultations.
