# Hackathon projects

Team prototypes

Healthcare prototypes built with multidisciplinary teams.

## Anchor

1st place · Dell Technologies × NVIDIA hackathon

Anchor is an on-device prototype for clinician-guided substance use recovery support. Our team explored proactive patient check-ins as a way to support a recovery workflow between interactions with a clinician.

The prototype combines local models with local tool execution, keeping the check-in workflow on the device. We built it as a team at the Dell Technologies × NVIDIA hackathon, where it received first place.

## Pramana

Runner-up · Rutgers Health Hack 2025, Sevaro track

Pramana is a healthcare-provider credentialing prototype built at Rutgers Health Hack 2025. Our team worked on the software workflow around provider credentialing and finished as runner-up in the Sevaro track.

My contributions covered the frontend interfaces and agentic logic, working with Next.js and Node.js. This brought together the user-facing experience and the AI-assisted workflow being developed by the team.

## CareCast

1st place · Health in Climate NYC Hackathon 2025

CareCast is a messaging-based climate-health companion built by Team Storm Logic. The prototype combines weather conditions with personal health context to deliver relevant heat alerts and check-ins through messaging.

Its implementation uses a Node.js and Express server for APIs and webhooks, Twilio for WhatsApp delivery, and BullMQ with Redis for background work. Scheduled jobs handle weather monitoring and check-ins, while an outgoing-message queue supports delivery tracking and retries.

I contributed software engineering and MLOps within a multidisciplinary team working across medicine, climate science, planning, and product. We won first place at the 2025 Health in Climate NYC Hackathon at Cornell Tech; the project notes cover the product, implementation, and team.
