System Overview
A zero-trust digital perimeter for emotional resilience. Facilitating secure, encrypted uplinks between students and counseling safety nets.
The mental health crisis among students is a silent epidemic. Most students lack a truly secure, anonymous, and judgment-free space to process emotions. Existing platforms are either too clinical or too public — neither works when someone is at their most vulnerable.

Architecture Decisions
01
Chose Supabase over Firebase for native Postgres support — needed complex relational queries for counselor-student matching without exposing raw SQL.
02
Realtime WebSockets for counseling sessions. No polling. Messages arrive in under 100ms.
03
Row-Level Security policies handle authorization at the database layer. Zero trust in the client.
04
Edge functions for sensitive operations — OTP verification and session tokens never touch the browser.
Challenges & Solutions
INCIDENT_01
Anonymous Identity
Students needed to be anonymous to peers but identifiable to counselors. Built a dual-identity system with encrypted pseudonyms.
INCIDENT_02
Session Security
Counseling data is sensitive. Implemented end-to-end encrypted message storage with automatic expiry policies.
INCIDENT_03
Real-time at Scale
Supabase Realtime channels per session. Handled connection pooling to prevent WebSocket exhaustion under load.
