The approach

As Product Owner in the Scrum team, I:

  • Defined and prioritised the product backlog

  • Translated client needs into technical requirements

  • Led sprint planning and aligned design and development


As a Software Engineer on the team, I:

  • Led the development of the AI speech therapist pipeline, including developing the RAG, prompt engineering, using vector comparisons to determine the correctness of the user's answer

  • Designed and built multiple frontend components and screens, including user dashboards, module libraries, speech exercise components


We focused on:

  • Child-safe, accessible and intuitive UX

  • Personalised adaptive learning experiences

  • Engaging and child-friendly interfaces and gamification

The Solution

Developed a functional MVP featuring:

  • A virtual therapist interface guiding structured exercises

  • AI-driven personalised recommendations

  • Adaptive difficulty based on user progress

  • A child-friendly, intuitive UI/UX

The result

The project delivered a functional prototype aligned with FunWattle's goals, demonstrating how AI could enhance accessibility in speech therapy while maintaining ethical safeguards. Demonstrated scalable and extensible architecture for future integration. Received strong client feedback on usability and ethical design.


Beyond technical output, this project strengthened my ability to:

  • Lead within an Agile team

  • Translate healthcare needs into technical systems

  • Design AI solutions responsibly in sensitive domains
