This continues a month-long arc across New York’s AI builder community — from co-organizing the AI Club x Iterate NYC Hackathon (300 builders) and judging Mistral’s worldwide hackathon (1,000+ engineers across 7 cities), to now mentoring at Google’s flagship NYC hackathon. Three major hackathons in four weeks, each with a different role: organizer, judge, mentor.
