Luminous Minds Australia
A full-stack mental health platform for schools, built from scratch to support student check-ins, appointment scheduling, secure messaging, and classroom-aware role management.
Project context
Luminous Minds Australia needed one coherent product where schools could monitor student wellbeing, run structured check-ins, manage appointments, communicate securely, and publish targeted resources. The product had to support multiple schools, multiple user types, and operational workflows that cut across classroom boundaries.
I built the frontend and backend solo, using Next.js 15, TypeScript, Zustand, and Firebase. The work included multi-tenant workspace isolation, automated scoring logic, scheduling flows, chat, content publishing, and granular RBAC tied to real school roles.
This project is a good example of the kind of SaaS work I do best: business logic-heavy products where the product surface, data model, permissions, and operator experience all have to line up cleanly.
