CU Hacking 2026 — 3rd Place Overall

Ottawa, Canada · July 2026 · 3rd Place Winner Overall

Hackathon Edge AI Raspberry Pi QNX Hardware

We competed in CU Hacking 2026 in Ottawa with the initial goal of tackling the QNX Hackathon Challenge. Our team built BioReact-Pi — an edge-AI bioreactor controller on a Raspberry Pi that reads live temperature sensors, applies a logistic bacterial growth model on-device, and streams everything to a real-time web dashboard with an animated petri-dish colony visualization. Though we pivoted away from the QNX OS to Raspberry Pi OS mid-hackathon, we secured 3rd Place Overall in the main competition!

Hackathon AI Safety FastAPI

We competed in the Cursor Hackathon Sudbury 2026 — Build the North, creating an explainable AI safety system for mining sites called Northern Shift Guard. It was an incredible experience collaborating with the community and showcasing how AI can improve industrial safety.
