From Supported Living Team Leader to Building a Medication Management SaaS

Over the past year, alongside working full-time in supported living, I built Med-Tracker — a B2B SaaS designed to help providers manage medication stock more proactively.

The motivation was practical, not theoretical.

Working inside the sector, I saw medication stock often managed manually. Low stock discovered late. Audit trails fragmented. Reordering reactive instead of projected.

So I built a system that:

• Tracks medication stock in real time

• Calculates projected run-out dates

• Generates low / critical alerts

• Maintains audit logs for compliance

• Supports role-based access

• Runs on web and mobile

Tech stack: Laravel, PostgreSQL, Next.js, React Native, deployed on AWS (Lightsail + Docker).

The product is live and functional.

Now I’m focused on validation and distribution in a regulated B2B niche.
