First Prize Winner at AT&T Hackathon and Wonderful Experience
This past weekend I participated in a Tech IoT Hackathon organized by AT&T and IBM at San Francisco and won First Place. It was 2 sleepless days and it got paid off well by winning the competition. It was 2 day event where participants/teams were expected to preferably stay in facility provided by organizers and code their respective idea. The idea was to use AT&T and IBM platform (e.g. M2X, Watson, Bluemix etc.) along with some IoT/Sensors/Micro Computer Boards (e.g. Raspberry Pi) to solve day-to-day problem. It was a nice experience and opportunity to interact with lot of talented people around the world. Other teams also came with nice ideas and they also implemented it nicely. A big thanks to organizers, all participants and everyone who supported this event and shared their ideas during the event, it was very inspiring and more food for thoughts.
