Healthcare Software Engineer · Building Steadyline

I'm a software engineer with a background in healthcare who lives with bipolar disorder. Steadyline started as the tool I needed but couldn't find — an AI-powered Android app that helps people track their mental health, mood, habits, and medications. I built it because nothing else took the problem seriously enough.

Why Steadyline?

Most wellness apps tell you to meditate or breathe. Steadyline is different — it actually listens. It learns your patterns, tracks your medications, and uses AI to surface insights that help you understand what's going on inside your head. It's the app I wish I had when I was first diagnosed.

The thing I care about most: doing this without compromising your privacy. Mental health data is some of the most sensitive data that exists. Your mood, your medications, your therapy notes — that should belong to you, not an ad network. I take that seriously.

The tech behind it

  • Kotlin Multiplatform — write once, target Android (and soon iOS)
  • Jetpack Compose + Material3 — declarative, beautiful UIs
  • AI: Groq, Gemini, on-device models — flexible inference that prioritises privacy
  • Supabase — Postgres + Auth + realtime, self-hostable
  • Astro — this very website (zero JS where possible, maximum speed)

What I write about

This blog is where I share the real stuff — not sanitised advice, but the honest experience of:

  • Building AI features that don't compromise user privacy
  • The reality of shipping a premium mental health app
  • Living with bipolar and building the tool that helps me manage it
  • Android development patterns and hard-won lessons
