    Fallout Hackathon

    Participant — built SoupBoy

    Built SoupBoy, a pocket survival gadget, from scratch in 48 hours. It was working great — unique features, polished and genuinely technical — but right as I started the live demo, a previously soldered wire came loose and cut the presentation short. A hard but valuable lesson in ruggedizing connections before showtime.

    Tech Conference

    Attendee

    Spent the event doing interviews, meeting people from across the industry, and networking — a great crash course that taught me a lot beyond just the talks.
