Hackathons & community

15+ hackathons (and counting)

I treat hackathons as a serious side practice: shipping full-stack and ML demos under time pressure, organizing at scale (VP of Tech @ HackCanada), and mentoring or judging when I am not competing. A running list of events, teammates, and wins is on my site.
