🌟 What an incredible weekend at BoomiAI Weekend Hacks | Bengaluru hosted by SaaSBoomi at HyperVerge! This was not just another hackathon - it was 24 hours of pure energy, collaboration, and innovation. From brainstorming ideas with fellow builders to sleepless coding sessions and mentor feedback, the atmosphere was buzzing with creativity. The best part was seeing how quickly teams transformed raw ideas into functional MVPs, all while leveraging AI credits, tools, and resources provided during the event. Beyond building, the knowledge-sharing sessions and mentor interactions gave deep insights into scaling AI-first products and thinking from a founder’s perspective. I walked away with: ✅ New learnings on building fast yet effectively ✅ Connections with some incredibly talented peers and founders ✅ Exposure to practical challenges in AI product development ✅ Motivation to push my own projects further A big thank you to Kashi KS, Dikshant Joshi, Nikunj Verma - Cutshort, Avinash Raghava, the SaaSBoomi(AIBoomi) team, and HyperVerge for creating a space that was not only about competition but also about community, collaboration, and growth. Also, a special shoutout to my teammate Dhananjai Yadav couldn’t have asked for a better partner to hack alongside through this intense 24-hour journey! Looking forward to staying connected with this amazing ecosystem and building even bigger things ahead! #BoomiAI #Hackathon #AI #Innovation #BuildersGuild #SaaSBoomi #HyperVerge #WeekendHacks

🌟 Thrilled to share that I participated in Arbitrum’s Open House Hack from September 18–21, 2025 at The Tamarind Tree, Bengaluru! 🚀 This was my first-ever blockchain hackathon, and it turned out to be an eye-opening journey into the world of Web3. Over four days, I not only learned about the fundamentals of blockchain but also gained a deeper understanding of the Layer 2 network, and how they drive scalability and efficiency in decentralized ecosystems. 💡Some key highlights of my experience: -Built and deployed our own ERC-20 token -Designed and tested smart contracts -Successfully deployed them on Arbitrum -Learned directly from amazing mentors and ecosystem experts who guided us throughout the hackathon This journey wouldn’t have been the same without my amazing teammates — Amith Jose, Siddanth Nair and Shashidhar Haravi who made collaboration both fun and insightful. A special thanks to 👨‍💻 Ben Greenberg, Aditi Chopra, Sneha Kumari and Aditya Oberai for their valuable feedback and reviews on our project iterations — your guidance really helped us improve and refine our ideas. Beyond the technical learning, the hackathon gave me the chance to connect with like-minded builders, explore creative ideas, and experience the energy of India’s Web3 community. I walked away not just with new skills, but also with the motivation to keep building, experimenting, and contributing to the blockchain space. A huge thank you to Arbitrum for organizing such a vibrant and inspiring event! #Arbitrum #Hackathon #Blockchain #Web3 #Layer2 #Ethereum #SmartContracts #LearningByBuilding
