Datahacks 2024
Datahacks is an annual event hosted by the Data Science Society at UCSD, is a hackathon where students of all backgrounds come together to work on a project for 24 hours. This year the event was held on the 6th-7th of April 2024 at UC San Diego and was held in conjunction with ACM UCSD’s Diamond Hacks.
This year I had the pleasure of being the co-director for the event, where I was in charge of organizing the event, finding sponsors, and making sure the event ran smoothly along side my co-director Jared Simpauco. The event was a great success with over 150 participants and 20+ projects being submitted – Link to the projects/devpost.

I sadly was not able to attend the event in person, as the date that we had chosen coincided with my College Club Swimming Nationals 2024, however, due to my absence my co-director Jared was able to run the event smoothly with the help of the rest of the DS3 team, and as a bonus they even purchased a cardboard cutout of me to be present at the event.
