Creating tools for overwhelmed students (and loving it)!

Hi Product Hunt! I’m Melissa Fernandes 👋

I'm a mechanical engineering student who unexpectedly fell in love with building tools for students in healthcare, especially the kind that make learning less overwhelming and more intentional.

After watching friends and family in med school burn out under the pressure of disorganized notes, endless PDFs, and mental overload, I decided to do something about it.

That’s when I started building MapMed, an AI-powered learning assistant designed to bring clarity to the chaos of health education. Think flashcards, mind maps, summaries, clinical notes, and spaced repetition — all generated from your own study materials, instantly.

I’m also deeply passionate about creativity, systems thinking, and building tools that combine beauty with brains. Whether it’s through code or design, my goal is to make complexity feel intuitive.

I’m super excited to be part of this community and to learn from what you’re building too!
