My Hackathon Journey
TimeLinePreparing for Chillennium
Texas A&M University
Currently preparing for Chillennium, a large-scale game development hackathon, focusing on game design, rapid prototyping, and collaborative development in a competitive environment.
UpcomingGeauxHack 2025
Co-hosted GeauxHack as President of the Google Developer Student Club at LSU, partnering with SASE to help run one of the university’s largest hackathons.
Role: Helped lead large-scale event organization, coordination, and long-term planning across multiple teams and stakeholders.
Lesson: Organizing a hackathon requires far more foresight than participating, from logistics and timelines to contingency planning.
Advice: Successful large events are built months in advance — clear leadership and preparation enable everyone else to focus on creating.
GeauxCASH — Hackathon Mentor
Served as a mentor at GeauxCASH, helping teams navigate both technical challenges and early-stage product decisions throughout the hackathon.
Role: Assisted teams with Git workflows, React and Firebase issues, feature scoping, and evaluating potential tradeoffs and consequences of design decisions.
Lesson: Teaching and debugging others exposes common pitfalls teams face at all levels, strengthening both technical intuition and product thinking.
Advice: Strong hackathons succeed through preparation and redundancy — good organizers plan backups for their backups, allowing participants to focus on building and learning.
Hacklytics 2025 — Georgia Tech
After receiving admission and travel reimbursement, I competed in Georgia Tech’s data science hackathon and experienced hackathons at a much larger and more competitive scale.
Project: ClaimCure — an AI-powered tool that analyzes hospital bills to detect potential errors or inflated charges, compares them to standard rates, and drafts a formal appeal email to billing departments.
Lesson: Large-scale hackathons require different preparation, from travel logistics to adapting to diverse team workflows and tech stacks.
Advice: When competing at scale, plan early, manage energy carefully, and adjust expectations — the learning and connections can matter more than prizes.
GeauxHack 2024
With more hackathon and web development experience, I teamed up with both familiar and new faces and competed in the advanced bracket, earning 1st place.
Project: Journey Buddies — a platform that helps users connect with others worldwide to attend popular events together, featuring messaging, friend systems, security protections, and an interactive map with a sleek, adventurous UI.
Lesson: Success comes from understanding each team member’s strengths and assigning tasks accordingly, especially when time is the biggest constraint.
Advice: Plan beyond just code — account for sleep, time management, and presentation rules early to maximize both development and rehearsal time.
WICS Geaux Hack the Globe 2024
An assistive-tech focused hackathon where I worked with like-minded developers and learned that impactful software is a continuous, evolving solution rather than a one-time fix.
Project: An AI-powered system using custom object detection to alert users with vision or hearing impairments about nearby hazards and potential threats.
Lesson: A strong technical solution alone isn’t enough. Good UI/UX, clear problem alignment, and effective presentation matter just as much.
Advice: Plan carefully, consider privacy and edge cases early, and remember that how you present your idea can define how it’s judged.
GeauxHack 2023
My first hackathon experience where I built a working website and learned Git and JavaScript, which I use daily even today.
Lesson: Hackathons are incredibly beneficial for learning new technologies. The best way to learn is by doing, and I highly advise attending one.
Project: A simple website where you can set multiple timers. It was my first webpage, so we'll leave it at that! ¯\_(ᵕ—ᴗ—)_/¯
