36 hours of non-stop coding in 4-degree Jalandhar weather at SIH 2024 Grand Finale to build an AI job-matching engine.

36 Hours in Sub-Zero Jalandhar Weather

Securing a Top 5 Spot in India at Smart India Hackathon (SIH) 2024 at LPU Jalandhar was one of the most intense engineering experiences of my journey. Operating in 4°C weather with zero sleep, our team (Team HexaGeeks) built a comprehensive AI employment platform.
