Achievements

In 2013, I started MHacks, the largest hackathon in the world. Since then over 5000 students from 150 universities have attended.

After that, I dropped out to help spread the hackathon movement.

Theme of 2014: Hackathons are for everyone.

To make hackathons more accessible, welcoming, and inclusive, I started the fastest growing online community of Hackathon Hackers: http://hh.gd

Over the next four years, hackathons will produce more tech talent than every CS program in the US combined.
