Most hackathons ask you to build something big in 24 or 48 hours.
This one does not.
The Kuberns AI Portfolio Hackathon 2026 is simple. You deploy your personal portfolio live and submit it. That is the core requirement.

Why this caught my attention
A lot of developers already have portfolios.
They are just not deployed properly.
Some live only on GitHub.
Some run locally.
Some were deployed once and never touched again.
This hackathon focuses on the missing step, deployment.
If you can ship something live, you are already ahead of many people.
What you actually need to do
You need to deploy a personal portfolio website.
That portfolio can be:
- One you already have
- An improved version of an old one
- A new portfolio built from scratch
Any tech stack works. React, Next.js, plain HTML, anything.
The only real rule is that your portfolio must be live and publicly accessible.
AI features are encouraged, but they do not have to be complicated. Even small AI-driven ideas are fine.
About Kuberns
The deployment is done using Kuberns.
Kuberns is a platform that helps you deploy applications without spending days on cloud setup or infrastructure management. You focus on your app, not servers.

Prizes and outcomes
This is not just a learning exercise.
Here is what you get:
- $10,000 cash prize pool for top portfolios
- Verified certificate for every valid submission
- Internship and full-time opportunities, up to 10 LPA, based on performance
Even if you do not win, you end up with a live portfolio you can confidently share on LinkedIn, resumes, and job applications.
Who should join
This makes sense if you are:
- A student who wants a real portfolio
- A developer who never deployed their work properly
- Someone preparing for internships or placements
- Anyone who wants a reason to finally ship their portfolio
You do not need to be advanced. You just need to finish and deploy.

Final thought
A deployed portfolio says more than a resume line.
If you already have one, this is a good excuse to clean it up and deploy it properly.
If you do not, this is a good reason to finally build one.
Either way, you end up with something real on the internet. That alone makes this hackathon worth considering.
