Description We are building Cardinal Hearts, a Stanford-centered digital wellness and anonymous peer support platform designed to help students navigate romantic relationships--share experiences, seek support, access personalized resources, and foster meaningful reflection in a psychologically safe environment. The platform will be fully accessible across both mobile and desktop devices, with a seamless, intuitive experience on each. We are looking for a talented full-stack developer to build a high-resolution functional MVP/prototype with scalable frontend and backend architecture. This is not a traditional social media platform — the interaction model should feel intentional, supportive, privacy-conscious, and community-centered. --- Core Features Frontend Development We need a modern, clean, responsive application that works seamlessly across: * Mobile devices * Tablets * Desktop/laptop browsers Key features include: * Anonymous posting feed * Post creation flow * Stanford-inspired branding/aesthetic * Tagging/filter system: * “Seeking Advice” * “Just Wanted to Share” * User onboarding/login flow * Saved/bookmarked posts * Ability to “follow/save” posts for later viewing * Personal Diary feature (see below) * Responsive UI optimized for both mobile and desktop --- Community Interaction Features We want engagement to feel emotionally supportive rather than performative social media. Features include: * “I Resonated” reaction button on posts * Anonymous resonance counts visible publicly * Optional sorting/filtering by most resonated posts * Private “This Didn’t Resonate” feedback option (not visible to other users; used only for internal analytics and personalization) * Aggregate engagement signals used to improve content surfacing and recommendations --- Diary Feature (Personal Reflection System) Each user will have a **Diary**, which serves as their personal timeline of activity and reflection. Core functionality: * All public posts automatically appear in the user’s Diary, organized by date * Users can also write **private diary entries** that are never shared publicly * Clear distinction between: * Public posts (community-visible + stored in diary) * Private reflections (personal only) Diary capabilities: * Chronological timeline view of all entries * Ability to filter between public and private entries * Optional tagging of entries (e.g., reflection, advice-seeking, personal note) * Centralized place to revisit personal experiences over time --- Mood & Reflection Calendar Feature We also want a reflective mood tracking system inspired by apps like *Natural Cycles*. When users reflect or write in their diary, they can optionally select a **mood using an emoji-based system** (e.g., “Anxious 😟”, “Sad 😔”, “Calm 🙂”, etc.). Core functionality: * Users can attach a mood to each entry (optional) * Mood input should be fast and lightweight (emoji + label selection) Visualization: Users can view their data in: * Daily view (mood + associated entries) * Weekly trends * Monthly calendar or heatmap visualization of mood patterns Purpose: This feature helps users identify emotional patterns over time by connecting: * Mood states * Life events/reflections * Written posts Example: A user may notice repeated “anxious” moods on days involving a specific relationship dynamic, enabling deeper self-awareness and reflection over time. The goal is to support insight, not diagnosis — helping users better understand emotional patterns and triggers. --- Resource Library + Personalized Recommendations We are also building a curated **digital resource library** populated with materials from Stanford’s SHARE (Sexual Harassment/Assault Response & Education) office. Library may include: * Books * Articles * PDFs * Support resources * Educational materials Features: * Admin upload and management system * Categorization/tagging of resources * Personalized recommendations based on: * User posts * Diary entries * Mood data * Tag usage Recommendation system: Can initially be rules-based (no need for full AI at MVP stage) Examples: * Users expressing loneliness may be shown community/support resources * Users seeking relationship advice may receive relevant reading materials Privacy and sensitivity are critical to design. --- Analytics Dashboard (Admin/Internal) We need a basic analytics dashboard including: * Total users * Daily/weekly active users * Posts over time * Most-used tags * Most resonated-with posts * Resource engagement metrics * Repeat visitor tracking Advanced visualization requests: * Calendar view of engagement activity * Heatmap-style visualization for user engagement over time * Trend tracking for usage patterns (daily/weekly/monthly) We are open to recommendations for the best charting libraries/tools. --- Backend Development Requirements * Secure Stanford-only login/authentication * Stanford SSO preferred if feasible * Otherwise .edu-based restriction system * Database architecture and setup * Anonymous posting logic (ensuring privacy separation from identity) * User accounts and diary storage system * Saved posts/bookmarking system * Tag and category management * Moderation/reporting tools (basic MVP) * Scalable backend structure for future expansion --- Preferred Tech Stack Open to recommendations, but currently considering: * React / Next.js * Node.js * Firebase or Supabase * PostgreSQL --- Ideal Candidate * Strong full-stack web development experience * Experience building social or community platforms * Strong UI/UX instincts * Experience with authentication and secure systems * Comfortable building privacy-first products * Strong communication and fast execution mindset * Product/design thinking is a plus Bonus if you have experience with: * Anonymous social platforms * Mental wellness or student-facing products * Recommendation systems * Data visualization dashboards --- Deliverables * Functional high-fidelity MVP/prototype * Clean, documented codebase * GitHub repository handoff * Deployed staging/testing environment --- To Apply Please include: 1. Relevant portfolio/projects 2. Recommended tech stack for this build 3. Estimated timeline 4. Estimated budget range 5. Your approach to: * Anonymous posting architecture * Diary + mood tracking system * Personalized recommendation system 6. Any suggestions or improvements based on your experience We are aiming to move quickly and begin development ASAP.

DESCRIPTION; I'm building a data infrastructure product for ontology-driven AI context: object types, properties, and relationships materialized ahead of query time, so AI systems retrieve connected context fast instead of rebuilding it from raw sources on every request. I need experienced eyes on the ingestion foundation before anything gets built on top of it. The deliverables are fixed (below); hours are flexible — propose what you think the work honestly takes. Rate: my budget is $50–75/hr. That's a hard ceiling — proposals above that range can't be afforded and won't be considered, regardless of quality __________________________________________________________________________ WHO SHOULD APPLY A data engineer / data infrastructure engineer who understands what an ontology and a knowledge graph are and why they matter for AI systems — connected entities and relationships as first-class context, not just tables. You don't need graph database experience; you need to get why pre-materialized, relationship-aware data beats rebuilding context from raw sources on every query. If that framing clicks for you, you're the right kind of applicant. __________________________________________________________________________ THE PRODUCT, HIGH LEVEL: The platform deploys on a client's own infrastructure — we never see their data. Clients connect their data sources, define an ontology (object types, properties, relationships), and the platform materializes it across tiered storage. Later phases add a binary serve layer, SSD/RAM caching, and GPU-parallel query execution so AI systems and data applications retrieve connected context at very low latency. Target customers: companies running AI on complex connected data (security operations, healthcare, financial services) where privacy demands private deployment and speed matters. Storage note: the current prototype uses Iceberg on GCS for development convenience, but the architecture is intentionally built for any S3-compatible storage (on-prem S3, private cloud VPC, MinIO, etc.). Portability is a design requirement, not an afterthought — the platform must never be tied to a single cloud provider. __________________________________________________________________________ WHAT EXISTS TODAY: A working Python prototype: FastAPI, PyIceberg, PyArrow, Postgres, Supabase (metadata + sync ledger), GCS as the Iceberg warehouse. Architecture and design docs are provided for orientation. The cold path is functional and tested: a 31-test production suite ran against live infrastructure at 1M–5M row scale — core correctness, concurrency, failure injection (kill mid-sync, storage outages, lease expiry), idempotency/replay, rollback, a 50-sync soak, and audit checks. All passing, with a written sign-off document you'll receive. That's exactly why I'm hiring you: tests confirm behavior I anticipated. You're here for what I didn't anticipate — structural weaknesses, hidden risks, and edge cases that a test suite written by the same mind that wrote the pipeline can't catch. I'm strong on product and systems design, not low-level data engineering. The codebase is AI-assisted, and I want a professional to find what that typically accumulates. This is a prototype built from the ground up — no live client today. The goal: ensure the ingestion foundation is genuinely solid (data coming in from source correctly, at scale, repeatedly) so a scoped MVP pilot and beta release won't break under real usage. You are validating the foundation before anything gets built on top. __________________________________________________________________________ YOUR SCOPE — THE COLD PATH, END TO END Data source → validation → identity merge → materialized ontology in Iceberg on S3-compatible storage. The data connectors are in scope — they ARE Milestone 1. The platform supports exactly three ways data comes in, and your job includes confirming each one is genuinely production-grade, not just demo-grade: Postgres — full refresh and incremental watermark sync S3-compatible object storage (CSV) — currently GCS via S3 interop, but must work against any S3-compatible store (on-prem, MinIO, private VPC) Manual CSV upload — primarily for testing/onboarding For each connector, production-grade means: real error handling (bad credentials, unreachable source, permission failures, malformed/garbage data, schema drift), clear failure messages that tell a user what broke, no silent partial ingests, and sane retry/recovery behavior. If a connector swallows errors, loses rows quietly, or fails confusingly — that's exactly the finding I'm paying for. No other connectors are planned for this milestone. Three connectors that work correctly under stress beats ten that mostly work. Focus areas across the pipeline: Connectors — production-readiness and error handling as described above Identity & matching — entities staying consistent across syncs (PK merge, fingerprint mode, composite keys) Sync semantics — full refresh vs incremental watermark sync, replay idempotency, delete behavior Relationships — FK→PK edge materialization, rebuild triggers, orphan handling, stable node identity Versioning & audit — Iceberg snapshots, rollback, schema change lineage, sync ledger completeness Reliability — failure modes, partial writes, lock/lease behavior, silent wrong-data risks Code structure — dead code, duplication, coupling, fragility; source-specific logic must stay contained in each connector and never leak into the shared pipeline Explicitly out of scope: GPU execution, query kernels, binary serve formats, caching layers, query-time serving, and any new connector types — all future phases. Your scope ends at correct, versioned, audited data in Iceberg. __________________________________________________________________________ DELIVERABLES (in priority order) Prioritized written assessment — what's pilot-ready as-is, what must be fixed before a real pilot customer (with specific recommendations), and what the existing test suite missed (edge cases, risks, gaps). Active code changes — implement fixes for the highest-priority issues you find, directly in the repo. You'll have full repo access. I'm open to architecture changes and refinements as long as they're clearly explained with reasoning. A change log that teaches — for every change: what you changed, why it mattered, what it fixes or prevents, and what to watch for going forward. This isn't paperwork — I'm making a local engineering hire for the next milestone, and your write-ups become the onboarding record. Everyone who touches this codebase after you should learn from what you found. Fixes go deepest-risk-first. What you get from me: repo access, architecture/design docs, the test suite + sign-off report, and async availability for questions. __________________________________________________________________________ ***REQUIRED EXPERIENCE: 1)Production Python data pipelines 2)Apache Iceberg, Delta Lake, or Hudi (or strong Parquet/data-lake work) 3)Postgres 4)Merge/upsert, idempotency, watermark/CDC patterns Building or hardening data connectors that real users depend on************* __________________________________________________________________________ WHERE THIS CAN GO: This starts as a fixed-scope review. Separately, I plan to make my first part-time/full-time engineering hire locally (Dallas) to build Milestone 2 and beyond — SSD caching, serve layers, containerization, and microservices as the platform scales. For the right freelancer, there's opportunity to stay engaged on recurring scoped work — reviewing the foundation as it evolves and working in conjunction with that future hire. Not required, not promised — but the door is open if the work is strong. __________________________________________________________________________ *********HOW TO APPLY — READ CAREFULLY***** Answer this one question in your proposal, briefly and in your own words: "You're building a pipeline that ingests from Postgres and S3-compatible storage and materializes a connected ontology (entities + relationships) into Iceberg. How do you design the sync process to be reliable and idempotent — especially around watermarking, commits, and failure handling between steps?" Include your proposed hour estimate for the deliverables above. Get creative — attachments and notes welcome. Note on AI-generated proposals: I use AI heavily myself — but if your proposal or screening answer is clearly AI-generated boilerplate, you will be automatically rejected without consideration. I'm hiring your judgment and experience, not your ability to paste a prompt. Short, direct, human answers. __________________________________________________________________________ A NOTE ON TECHNOLOGY BOUNDARIES: ***QUICK EXAMPLE*** FastAPI and Iceberg are what the platform uses today, not permanent decisions. As the product scales, we may want to run FastAPI alongside a second framework, replace it entirely, or eventually move away from Iceberg toward a custom storage format optimized for the GPU serve layer. Those should be engineering decisions made on merit, not decisions we're forced into because the current code makes swapping painful. What I need confirmed: is the codebase modular enough that a change like that stays contained? Core business logic (validate, merge, materialize, version) should never be tangled directly with infrastructure. API routes should be thin entry points that hand off to service logic, not where business logic lives. Iceberg writes should be isolated behind a single abstraction. If those boundaries are clean, replacing or extending a technology layer is a focused engineering effort. If they're not, it touches everything and becomes a mess under deadline pressure with a full team. Flag anywhere that boundary is broken. That's a priority finding. __________________________________________________________________________ FINAL REMARKS: NDA & IP protections This engagement requires signing an NDA and IP assignments agreement before work begins; standard protections given you'll have full repo access to a pre-launch product. Documents are provided on day one; nothing unusual in them. If that's a dealbreaker, please don't apply.
