Zicofy · Full-stack development internship
EmpatIA
Two connected applications: a monitoring platform for teachers and a conversational emotional-support assistant for students.
My contribution
A colleague and I built both the student app and the teacher platform from scratch, including interfaces, application logic, data integration and AI services.
- Two applications built from scratch
- Shared development with a colleague
- Collaboration with researchers
Two audiences, one platform
Students have a space for conversations and questionnaires. Teachers have a platform for reviewing the information collected and following up. The project was developed in collaboration with University of Seville researchers.
I worked on both applications during my January–February 2026 internship at Zicofy. My colleague and I shared the development; we did not each take ownership of just one app.
What we developed
- Interfaces and application logic for both the student and teacher applications.
- Dynamic questionnaires, AI conversation flows and audio transcription with Whisper.
- Data storage and querying with Firebase, Firestore, Data Connect, GraphQL and PostgreSQL.
- Response and feedback collection to support the researchers’ evaluation work.
Scope of my involvement
My colleague and I built both applications from scratch during the internship. Two new interns subsequently joined to continue improving the project.
The code is private. The images come from the app’s public sign-in page and a post shared by my colleague after our internship; they show the product, but do not imply we authored every detail of that later version.
The source code cannot be shared under the contract. Images come from the public sign-in page and the team’s public post.
