9-component platform powering RevolutionUC and MakeUC — registration, judging, hacker matching, and Discord automation.

WhatA suite of applications and services supporting UC's largest student hackathons across four years and multiple virtual and in-person formats. Grew from a small tool into a platform covering the full event lifecycle under technical leadership.

ChallengeRunning a student hackathon once a year is demanding; running multiple formats (virtual and in-person) across four years while growing a volunteer team required building a platform that could evolve as fast as the events did.

ArchitectureService-oriented backend across AWS, Heroku, Netlify, and Cloudflare. Frontends in Jekyll, React, and Angular. NestJS + Postgres API server. Includes a Discord bot, email processing server, Tinder-style team-matching algorithm, and live Chart.js stats dashboard.

OutcomeRan multiple annual hackathons for hundreds of participants. Led a team through expansion from a single codebase to a 9-component platform.
