This is a submission for the World's Largest Hackathon Writing Challenge: After the Hack.
What's Next for Me and My Project
This marks my first challenge submission with the Algolia MCP Server Challenge, where I developed the HS Code Commodity Search Engine, integrating Algolia and Claude AI for tariff analysis. Not long after submitting, I received an exciting reach-out from the founder of Tarivio AI to collaborate and enhance his product’s workflow with my project. This partnership holds great promise for expanding the tool’s reach, potentially into Indonesia and beyond, and I’m considering open-sourcing more features on GitHub to foster community growth.
Reflect on What I Learned
This experience, my first in a coding challenge, taught me valuable lessons. I mastered securing API keys with environment variables and managing Git history after an initial exposure, while deploying to Heroku and Vercel sharpened my DevOps skills. More importantly, it inspired me to streamline this project with my current trade and logistics work, aiming to deliver impactful solutions for stakeholders like exporters and government agencies through efficient tariff management and compliance. This month shifted my focus from competition to creating meaningful value, shaping my trajectory toward innovative trade technology.
I’d welcome your insights or suggestions in the comments!
