🦷 Smiles, Sprints, and Software: My Freelance Journey

SP Dental Care Project

SP Dental Care – A Patient-Centric Dental App

Partnered with Dr. Pooja Priyadarshini Sudarsanam to conceptualize, design, and build a custom software solution for SP Dental Care tailored for streamlining clinic operations and improving patient engagement in a dental practice setting. Our collaboration was grounded in mutual strengths: she provided deep domain expertise and operational insights, while I brought technical proficiency and product vision. Together, we identified core pain points in appointment scheduling, patient tracking, and membership differentiation, and transformed them into a user-friendly digital experience. 🔧 My contributions included: Leading the end-to-end product development lifecycle, from requirements gathering to MVP planning and feature roadmap definition. Engineering a seamless web-based platform that enabled patients to: 📅 Self-schedule appointments online 📈 Track their visit history and upcoming consultations 🌟 Access custom experiences based on their premium or regular membership tier I contributed across the product lifecycle — from MVP planning and technical architecture to feature implementation and deployment — showcasing a balanced blend of product ownership and engineering execution.

To extend the app’s impact, I facilitated its transition to another clinic, where it was later adapted to new requirements.

🌿 Balance & Harmony

Finding balance through yoga, mindfulness, and companionship. Wellness is not just about movement but also about the joy of being present, whether on the yoga mat or spending time with a furry friend. I embrace self-care as a way to enhance creativity, focus, and happiness in life.
