Hackathon as a Service
Hackathons serve as a brilliant way to ignite innovation within or outside an organization and can be tailored around a specific theme or an existing product, solution or process.
Done in a short timeframe, like in a day or two or more depending on the complexity of the problem statement or business challenge being addressed.
​
For the past 3 years, we have been able to execute successful physical data science hackathons. This entails planning, communication, management, and documentation of the entire hackathon.
The team led by Alfred Ongere, has over 4 years experience in managing developer communities, project management, concept development and event management.
