About DMAFB

From One Act of Kindness to a Global Movement

A stranger's simple act of helping someone find a home sparked a journey that would become DMAFB. Founded on the principle of "I help you, you help me. Everybody happy" - we're building a digital wellbeing platform that transforms micro-acts of kindness into tools for connection, cultural exchange, and mental wellbeing improvement.

Our Mission: Prevent burnout, improve workplace morale, and make kindness a natural part of daily work life through science-driven, human-first interventions.

What we're building

We're developing an MVP platform that combines:

• Predictive analytics for early detection of workplace wellbeing issues
• Real-time monitoring and personalised intervention recommendations
• Time-series tracking of individual and team wellness metrics
• Pattern recognition to identify hidden risks before they become crises
• A lightweight, intuitive interface that seamlessly integrates into daily workflows

This isn't just another wellness platform - it's a proactive system that shifts organisations from reactive surveys to meaningful, data-driven support.

What we need

We're seeking a volunteer Full Stack Developer with experience in:

Recommended Tech Stack

Backend

Primary Framework Options:

• Python with Django/FastAPI - Ideal choice given the ML/AI requirements (predictive modeling, anomaly detection with auto-encoders)
• Node.js with NestJS - Good for real-time data processing and high concurrency
• Java/Kotlin with Spring Boot - Enterprise-grade with strong security

Recommendation: Python with FastAPI

• Excellent for ML integration (scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch)
• Fast performance with async capabilities
• Native support for data science libraries
• Easy API documentation with OpenAPI/Swagger

Database Architecture

Primary Database:

• PostgreSQL - ACID compliance, excellent for complex queries and analytics
• Supports time-series data for tracking trends over weeks/months/quarters

Additional Data Stores:

• Redis - Caching layer for real-time scoring and dashboard performance
• TimescaleDB (PostgreSQL extension) - Optimized for time-series wellbeing data
• Elasticsearch - Fast searching through historical patterns and anomaly detection

Machine Learning & Analytics

• Python ML Stack:
  • scikit-learn for predictive modeling
  • TensorFlow/PyTorch for auto-encoder neural networks (anomaly detection)
  • pandas/NumPy for data analysis
  • SciPy for statistical analysis

Real-Time Processing

• Apache Kafka or RabbitMQ - Event streaming for survey responses and intervention triggers
• Celery - Asynchronous task queue for scheduled interventions and alerts

Frontend

• React or Vue.js - Interactive dashboards
• D3.js or Chart.js - Data visualizations
• Material-UI or Tailwind CSS - Component library

Security & Privacy (Critical for HR Data)

• OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect - Authentication
• Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) - Manager/employee/HR permissions
• End-to-end encryption for sensitive employee data
• Audit logging for compliance (GDPR, HIPAA if applicable)

Cloud Infrastructure

Recommended: AWS or Azure

• Compute: ECS/EKS (AWS) or AKS (Azure) for containerized services
• Storage: S3/Azure Blob for documents and resources
• CDN: CloudFront/Azure CDN for fast resource delivery
• Monitoring: CloudWatch/Azure Monitor + DataDog or New Relic

Architecture Pattern

Microservices Architecture:

1. Survey Service - Data collection
2. Analytics Service - Scoring and pattern recognition
3. Intervention Service - Triggered actions
4. Notification Service - Email/in-app alerts
5. Dashboard Service - API for frontend
6. ML Service - Predictive modeling

Key Technical Considerations

For the Item-Level Anomaly Detection:

• Auto-encoder neural networks to detect unusual patterns
• Real-time scoring with <100ms response time
• Batch processing for trend analysis

For Predictive Modeling:

• Time-series forecasting models (LSTM, Prophet)
• 1-4 week prediction windows
• Continuous model retraining with new data

For Privacy:

• Data anonymization at the database level
• Aggregation services that prevent de-anonymization
• Separate data stores for identifiable vs. anonymous data

• Core platform architecture for our MVP launch
• Integration points for predictive models and analytics
• User-facing features that make wellbeing interventions effortless
• A scalable foundation that can grow with our community
