A consumer app for pet parents - health records, weight tracking, nutrition, expenses, family sharing, a pet social network, and an AI companion. CTO & DevOps for the platform behind it.
The Pet Parent App (Happy Pet Care) is a consumer companion app built by pet parents, for pet parents. It brings a pet’s health, wellness, finances, and social life into one place - medical records, smart weight tracking, nutrition and recipes, expense tracking, family sharing, a pet social network, and Lorem, an AI companion that answers everyday questions about health, diet, training, and behaviour.
As CTO and DevOps engineer, I lead the platform architecture and the infrastructure behind the app.
The app is built with Flutter and Dart for a single codebase across iOS and Android, backed by a Node.js / Express API and MongoDB. The backend powers profiles, records, the social graph, and the AI companion’s integrations.
The backend runs on AWS, shipped through a GitLab CI/CD pipeline - automated builds and deployments so the team can move fast without breaking releases.
The app is live on iOS and Android and under active development, with ongoing work on the AI companion, social features, and scaling the platform as the user base grows.
Built with Flutter and Dart to ship a single, consistent experience to both iOS and Android. As CTO I owned the boundary between the Flutter client and the Node.js/Express + MongoDB backend, keeping the API clean enough to evolve quickly.
Mobile release pipelines are their own beast. I set up GitLab CI/CD and AWS infrastructure for the backend and automated builds, so feature work flows out to users without manual, error-prone release steps.
Make pet care simple enough that pets live longer, happier lives - and families stay on the same page.
