struppilog.com – Digital health record for pets / MVP → Full Product

Design, development, and full further development of a digital health platform for pets – from my own MVP development to a fully built and production-ready platform.

Independent concept and development of the MVP Development of the full application with Flutter/Dart and Firebase Expansion of the MVP into a full digital health record with health data, findings, allergies, medications, documents, and emergency data Development of user registration, authentication, roles, data models, and secure user interactions Implementation of QR-code-based data exchange and digital interaction features Development of a multilingual, responsive web application Integration of AI-supported features and AI/agentic workflows Development and continuous improvement of product logic, UX/UI, and technical architecture Building and expanding a scalable cloud-based solution with Firebase Integration and further development of APIs and external services Use of AI-native / agentic engineering to speed up development, testing, debugging, and product iteration Independent implementation of all other features and technical extensions Continuous further development of the MVP into a full digital product

Impact: The MVP I built myself was continuously developed technically and functionally into a broad, production-ready platform – including frontend, backend, data model, authentication, UX/UI, APIs, cloud infrastructure, and ongoing product development.

The combined experience from recent project years shows that two hearts beat in my chest: on the one hand, working in and for organizations to develop new, innovative products, ideally as part of a digitization strategy or business development – and the closely related change and transformation process expertise as part of holistic organizational consulting. For this, I have established the Change Bakery and Product Validators offerings.

On the other hand, my heart and mind are fired up to find my own products, evaluate markets and potentials, and test ideas. Currently, I am proactively and part-time, in addition to ongoing projects, working on a product idea in the mental health area and have founded Therapymate.
