What my bachelor's has looked like so far...
Dubai Voice Agent Hackathon
1st Place Overall + Devin Track
Won 1st place overall out of 100+ builders, and took the Devin track as well. We built a devtool for on-call developers: the agent has its own phone number, so it calls you, walks you through what Devin is doing on a PR, and you can steer it just by talking. Live repo and incident data comes from context.dev, with ElevenLabs and Twilio handling the voice and telephony.

4th Place, Devin Track
Came 4th out of around 100 people at the Devin/Cognition track, this time at TU Munich. Built a 5-stage agent pipeline running many instances of Devin to create a one-click way of generating Verilog and industry-standard diagrams for FPGA development. Built with Shady Abdallah and William Church, probably the most enjoyable hackathon experience so far.
EurHackNL
Finalist
Made it to the finals at EurHackNL, the biggest hackathon in the Netherlands, competing against 400+ builders. We built an app to help people struggling with loneliness find meaningful connections and make new friends, and presented it to a BCG representative.

HackDelft
2nd Place
Came 2nd at HackDelft and presented to JetBrains. An IDE plugin that assists developers on a per-issue basis, pulling context from GitHub issues and guiding them through the implementation step by step.
View Pitch DeckFace-Controlled Wah Pedal
Built a browser-based wah pedal controlled entirely by facial expressions. Uses MediaPipe for face tracking, the Web Audio API for real-time audio processing, and a bit of high school trigonometry to map movements to frequency, since pitch perception is logarithmic. Not the most practical thing I've ever made, but learning the signal processing behind it was worth it.
