Projects

I founded AngelHacks 1.0 in 2018 and it grew into an event hosted at Snapchat HQ with 150+ attendees and many mentors/workdhops.

AngelHacks 2.0 (in 2020) had 900+ attendees and we were able to run many workshops with people from NASA, Illumination, SpaceX, and more. I have also raised $18k+ for AngelHacks over the past iterations.
