Ralph Salazar

Hi, I'm Ralph — a software developer with over 15 years of experience and a growing passion for building technology that supports mental well-being.

I began my career in traditional tech environments, coding everything from financial tools to e-commerce platforms. But after volunteering for a mental health nonprofit a few years back, I realized just how much technology could do to support people’s emotional and psychological health. That experience changed the direction of my work — and, honestly, the way I think about tech altogether.

Today, I focus on designing and developing software solutions for therapists, clinics, and wellness platforms. Whether it's building secure telehealth systems, creating journaling apps, or working on AI-powered mood tracking, I believe software should help people feel seen, heard, and supported.

I'm based in New York, where I split my time between remote work, trail walks, and far too much coffee. I'm a big believer in lifelong learning, whether it’s through a new framework, a podcast on neuroscience, or just good conversation. I also advocate for ethical tech practices and better digital privacy in mental health apps — because trust matters in this space.

If you’re also interested in the intersection of code and care, I’d love to connect.
