Sync the City 2022
At Sync the City Norwich, I participated in an intense 54-hour startup hackathon that transformed raw concepts into viable business prototypes. This prestigious event brings together Norwich's brightest entrepreneurs, developers, and designers to collaborate under tight deadlines.Working with a diverse team, I helped develop both technical solutions and business strategies, culminating in a competitive pitch to industry experts and investors. The experience enhanced my rapid prototyping skills, validated my ability to perform under pressure, and strengthened my collaborative approach to problem-solving.
