Honored to serve as a 𝐉𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 2026 @hackhayward 𝐇𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐧 🏆
This year was especially meaningful as I also contributed as a 𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐨𝐫 during the kickoff. Spending the weekend alongside students and developers in late-night coding sessions was inspiring, the energy, creativity, and collaboration were incredible.
Highlights from the two-day event:
• Mentored 100+ students, guiding teams to build innovative AI-driven solutions
• Discussed Entrepreneurship, AI, Privacy, Cybersecurity, and emerging innovations
• Returned on Day 2 to serve as a Judge, evaluating impressive projects
A special thank you to Lynne Grewe for the invitation, and it’s always a pleasure connecting with CSU professors, and the event team at @csueb
To all participants: you demonstrated true leadership, taking initiative, collaborating under pressure, and turning ideas into impact. Remember, success isn’t just about winning, it’s about the ideas you bring to life and the problems you tackle.
One of my favorite events, and I’m grateful to have been part of it.
