As the Founder and Team Lead of Mental X, I spearheaded the development of an AI-driven health-tech startup from ideation to launch. I led the development of the platform’s core features, focusing on implementation and system integration. By aligning technical requirements with product goals, I led my team to a top-three finish at the 2025 Grand Finale, securing funding and recognition for our technical innovation.
