A Note From Our Founder
From a 19-year-old CS student building his dream.
A Rollercoaster
It's 1am on Sunday morning. I'm sitting, slouching on my couch, writing this while everyone at home is asleep.
Feeling so sleepy, tired, been coding non-stop but my 19-year-old ass has to be serious and build something real or he could risk dropping out from school the next semester.
By the way, my dad is also not sleeping- well, to put it right, he's technically sleeping but could wake up at any slightest movement. I don't consider that sleeping. Sorry. Guess that's what being the head of the house feels like.
Feels good to be here tho.
The Journey
It's been a long ride building this product.
From the day I bumped into this idea while doing my morning routine, to when I was trying to get all legal and security measures in place. Pure rollercoaster.
We've (sorry, I've) made sure everything is in place.
Security First, Everything Else Second
Security is top notch from employing RLS security in our database to implementing a solid server side authentication and authorization management.
We're fully HIPAA compliant - every piece of patient data is encrypted at rest and in transit, with comprehensive audit trails tracking every interaction.
Our SOC 2 Type II certification ensures we meet the highest standards for security, availability, and confidentiality.
But here's the thing - compliance isn't just about checking boxes.
It's also about trust.
When a doctor at 3am needs to generate a SOAP note for their patient, they shouldn't have to worry about data breaches or regulatory violations.
They should focus on what matters: patient care.
The Technical Reality
The technical stack might sound boring to some, but it's everything to me.
Multi-factor authentication, role-based access controls, automated session management, encrypted API endpoints - each line of code represents hours of research, testing, and refinement.
I've lost count of how many times I've rebuilt the authentication flow to make it both bulletproof and seamless.
What Keeps Me Up
What keeps me up at night (besides coding) is knowing that we're solving a real problem.
This isn't just another SaaS product.
Actually, it is.
You're not about to hear another start up shit post from me.
The Realest Founder
But here's the thing, I may just be the realest founder that ever exists.
Maybe when I make money I won't. But for now, I am.
Moving Forward
The journey's just beginning, but the foundation is solid.
Changing how documentation works, one note at a time.
P.S. - If you're a medical professional reading this at 1am too, you get it. This one's for us.
