There's a hackathon almost every week right now, agentic AI, open source, AI infra, all of it. I want to enter more of them, and I want to build the team differently than most people do.
What I bring
I'm a computer science undergrad working as an AI Systems Engineer Intern at RYSE Technologies, where I built the main orchestrator agent that routes tasks across a registry of 3,000+ specialized subagents through intent classification, capability scoring, context assembly, and dispatch. That cut misrouted tasks by roughly 40% and brought dispatch latency to around 120ms.
Outside of that, I've built three agentic AI systems, all open source:
- RabbitHole, a multi-agent "courtroom" system on LangGraph that runs adversarial debate personas. I fixed a token-budget overrun where agents were blowing 3 to 4x past budget per round with no shared memory, just prompts. Moving the constraint into a structured state schema cut latency 50% (19.8s to 9.8s) and input tokens 70%, measured in LangSmith.
- PaperPlanes, an agentic memory engine for research papers on CockroachDB, with bi-temporal fact versioning and contradiction detection. It survives a live database crash mid-conversation and keeps 25 of 25 writes under concurrent contention, where a flat-file approach kept 1 and silently lost 24.
- Co-Founder Memory, a 19-node LangGraph system with a self-correcting CRAG/SRAG retrieval loop and a daily cron pipeline for long-term personal context.
What I'm looking for
People who can code and want to get better at it fast, especially if you're still early in your learning curve. Here's how I want this to work:
You build the base layout and the parts you're comfortable with. When you get stuck, I help you work through it instead of just handing you the answer. When something is genuinely hard, the kind of bug that eats a whole night, I'll write that part myself so the project actually ships. You leave with a shipped, working project and real code review, not just a participation certificate.
This isn't me disappearing after kickoff and expecting a finished product back. I'm building alongside you. The RabbitHole fix above is the kind of problem I'm good at catching early, before it burns your weekend.
What I need from you
Someone who can actually write code, even if you're not confident in it yet, and who can commit to a real weekend, not just the idea-pitch phase. If you've got a hackathon on your radar and want a team, or you want to build toward one together, reply here or DM me.
