Role

Solo full-stack engineer, contracted via Castle Logic LLC for EmmeCo. Built using agentic engineering workflows.

Problem

In therapy sessions, clients build out a whole cast of people over time (friends, family, coworkers), and therapists often have to interrupt the flow just to re-orient ('wait, is that the Cathy from the Christmas party?'). myOrbit gives anyone a visual relationship map they control, showing closeness and relationship tone at a glance, so context can be shared without breaking the conversation. It's positioned deliberately as a personal reflection tool, not a healthcare product: therapists never get account access, and a client can generate and hand off a PDF export if they choose to share it.

Approach

I evaluated several ways to visualize a set of relationships before landing on one built for a non-hierarchical structure. People's relationships aren't a tree: three mutual friends can form a triangle of connections, so the visualization needed to represent bonds between the people in someone's life, not just a hub-and-spoke view centered on the user. The layout stays stable across sessions while still being manually adjustable, and it reads both closeness and relationship quality at a glance, with no extra clicks or menus needed.

Results

Pre-launch: the core visualization, person/category management, and notes are built and in active internal use. A live demo and usage data will be added once the product is polished and in front of real users.
