Gearcloud | 2nd place in hackathon

GearCloud solves the problem everyone hates: taking your car to the mechanic. It’s time consuming, way overpriced, and it’s hard to find a mechanic you can trust. Instead of paying a fortune for repairs, we answer the question: What if your mechanic lived right next door? We placed 2nd out of 30 teams in a hackathon sponsored by UCSD.

As part of Spawn's Web3 fellowship, I had the opportunity to speak on a panel with other high achieving students in the industry to discuss the problems of Web3 education on college campuses, and possible remedies.
