Problem Space
Balancing sensitive mental-health UX with robust production integration: the interface needed to feel calm and non-overwhelming while still supporting real API workflows, anti-bot protections, security hardening, and future-ready streaming/chat behaviors.
Core Interaction Shifts
Key design decisions that shaped the experience.
Trust-Centered Product Flows
Designed clean, low-friction interfaces with thoughtful messaging and interaction patterns that reinforce safety without adding cognitive overload.
Backend-Aligned Frontend Integration
Connected chat/forms to live FastAPI endpoints with session handling, API auth, request/response mapping, validation-safe payload transforms, and resilient error states.
Security + UX Refinement
Implemented bot protection and edge-case handling, removed enumeration-prone waitlist exposures, resolved mobile UX issues, and improved component structure for long-term scalability.
Influence & Validation
The product moved from a technically capable AI system to a polished, safe, and user-centered experience that feels intentional in every interaction.
Frontend architecture aligned with anti-sycophancy behavior goals and future memory/streaming features
Production-grade integration across waitlist and core flows, including validation, rate-limit, and bot-protection edge cases
Mobile responsiveness, accessibility, and interaction consistency improved across critical user journeys
