Hackathons

Project: FairPath

Built FairPath, an ethical AI-powered career recommendation platform, during ColorStack Winter Hackathon 2025. I learned how to quickly balance model quality, fairness guardrails, and clear user-facing explanations under hackathon time pressure.

Project: ChronoPal (What's This Madness?!)

My group created ChronoPal—a playful AI companion with a retro-inspired UI. I learned to split work clearly under a short deadline, integrate OpenAI into a tight product loop without ballooning scope, and prioritize a reliable demo path while the FastAPI + MongoDB API and React frontend were still taking shape.

Project: Daily Dose

Built an early Daily Dose hackathon version focused on AI-powered journaling and mood-aware prompts. I learned how to simplify feature scope fast, keep collaboration tight, and prioritize a stable end-to-end demo in a short sprint.
