Hackathon Expert & Developer for MVP Creation -- 2
Budget: ₹1,500 – ₹12,500 INR
We’re a student team preparing for a national-level innovation challenge and looking for support from someone who has experience winning or excelling in hackathons.
We need help with both:
Development — building a working MVP (not just a prototype) that integrates data processing, digitization, and a simple web-GIS/dashboard.
Mentorship — guiding us strategically on how to structure the project for maximum impact in a competitive setting (e.g., feature prioritization, data sourcing, presentation polishing).
What you’ll do:
Help us design & implement a lean MVP (front-end + back-end, with sample/synthetic datasets where required).
Share best practices from your hackathon experience (how to impress judges, what to showcase, etc.).
Provide technical + strategic mentorship over 1–2 weeks as we iterate.
Ideal Profile:
Past experience winning or reaching finals in major hackathons.
Strong skills in one or more of: Python, GIS/web mapping, OCR/NLP for digitization, data visualization, dashboard development.
Comfortable guiding a student team and helping us avoid common pitfalls.
Important: Please share a link to your LinkedIn profile, Devpost, or any official proof of your hackathon achievements along with your proposal. Applications without this will not be considered.
Deliverables:
A functional MVP demonstrating digitization and decision-support workflows.
Advice on data sourcing and synthetic dataset creation.
Guidance on how to position the project for maximum clarity and impact.
Engagement:
Short-term (1–2 weeks).
Remote collaboration (we’re flexible with time zones).
Why work with us?
We’re highly motivated, fast-learning, and eager to push this project beyond a proof of concept. We need your experience to accelerate development and make our MVP competition-ready.
Skills Required:
Hackathon project experience (mandatory)
Full-stack or backend development (Python/Node preferred)
GIS / mapping libraries (Leaflet, Mapbox, QGIS, GeoPandas)
OCR/NLP basics (Tesseract, spaCy, Hugging Face, etc.)
Strong mentorship/teaching ability
