About

Hackathons

I have won the YC Hack the Stackathon, Alif x Replit World's Greatest Tournament, AGI House AI4Healthcare, the cua.ai Computer-Use Agents Hackathon, Replicate Hackathon, Dumb Hackathon, and Single Shot Hackathon.

I also placed at AGI House x Omi and Hack for Social Impact.

I also help run hackathons and demo days. I have worked on events with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, Vercel, AWS, Netflix, and Y Combinator.
