Founder, Loops.House  ·  Hackathon Judge & Mentor  ·  21× Global Hackathon Winner

I won 21 hackathons. Now I'm building the platform that runs them.

I've spent years on every side of a hackathon, competing in them, judging them, mentoring the teams, and running developer programs that filled them. Loops.House is what I built after seeing the same problem from all four angles: hosting a great event is mostly unglamorous operational work, and judging it fairly at scale is close to impossible by hand.

So I'm automating both.

🌀 Loops.House

Agentic hackathon hosting platform. Hosts spin up an event, builders submit, and AI agents do the heavy lifting alongside human judges, so organizers run bigger events with less overhead and every submission gets a fair, consistent read.

  • AI-assisted judging — submissions scored against configurable rubrics, paired with human judge evaluations rather than replacing them
  • Full event lifecycle — configuration, submissions, judging, leaderboards, and finalization, with permissions gated by event phase
  • Enriched project profiles — built automatically from GitHub repos, demo videos, and screenshots
  • Semantic search across submissions — RAG-powered Q&A over project codebases and sponsor docs
  • Analytics for organizers — submission stats, category and tech-stack breakdowns, momentum scoring

🧭 What I Bring

0 → 1 Product Scoping, building, and shipping full-stack products solo or with a small team. Working software, not decks.
Applied AI Agentic workflows, RAG, and evaluation pipelines built into real products people use.
Community & Growth Developer communities from zero — programs, events, and content that drive real engagement.
Technical Storytelling Guides, talks, and workshops that make complex systems land. Used by hundreds of developers.

Agentic systems for the work that doesn't scale - evaluation, onboarding, and community operations that usually break the moment you add a zero.
