Meta & AWS Hackathon August 27-29, 2024

I'm thrilled to announce Drawing Inspiration won first place in the GenAI track!

Inspired by the challenge of visualizing art in personal spaces before making a purchase, Drawing Inspiration seeks to bridge the gap between imagination and reality. This project harnesses mixed reality and generative AI to transform simple sketches into stunning, room-scale art previews within a user's environment. Our journey through this development was fueled by a passion for art, technology, and the desire to enhance the home decor experience.

In my role I as Devpost hack team captain, I contributed to designing the concept, front-end Unity development and design, pitch deck and video content creation, and presenting to the panel of Amazon and Meta judges.

The hack was a wonderful three day experience of personal and professional growth, team building and moving fast to build not one, but two front-end product experiences demonstrating cutting-edge XR and AI powered by Amazon Web Services on Meta Quest devices.
