Founder
2013 - 2013
In 2013, I started MHacks, the largest hackathon in the world. Since then, > 10,000 hackers from across the globe have attended. In 2017, Apple acquired Workflow, an app that started at MHacks. Speakers such as Sam Altman (OpenAI/YC), Alexis Ohanian (Reddit), Brendan Iribe (Oculus), and Jeff Lawson (Twilio) have keynoted over the years. After starting MHacks, I traveled for years helping scale hackathons at 40+ major engineering universities. Then I started the online community Hackathon Hackers which is now home to over 50,000 engineers and designers: https://facebook.com/groups/hackathonhackers/ More recently, started Miami Hack Week and AI Hack Week.
