One of my challenges at Stanford was to connect with a celebrity, I reached out to Ashton Kutcher and we even organized a Music Hackathon at his space in LA.
On October 23-25th 2015, my friends and I worked together to produce HackingEDU the largest Educational Hackathon event in San Mateo, CA. Students across the nation travelled to San Mateo,CA for a weekend of Hacking to build software and hardware projects to advance education.
During my time volunteering at Boys and Girls club, I worked with numerous underserved kids and also held a couple of workshops educating youth on design thinking, mobile application design, wireframing, prototyping and robotics.
A proximity sensing robot using Arduino compatible board.
A Wearable Watch designed using Solidworks and a 3d printer for prototype.
I worked with two 12 year old hackers on an BioMetric Access Control panel with a touchscreen LCD for commercial buildings.
The winning prize was a coffee bean scale which measures the right amount of coffee for industrial automation.
It was exciting to put some of my Agile / Scrum team management principles into practice to manage multiple teams while simultaneously working on a project and coordinating the event.
At my first Startup Weekend event, I designed an emergency response app and worked with my team of developers to demo our prototype. It allowed any user to report their GPS location and alert family members at the touch of a button.
I decided to call it 912 Alerts. Because it's 1 step ahead of 911 given that we provide 2 critical pieces of information requested whenever someone reports an emergency.
