I was one of 30 selected participants from various fields chosen for the Deloitte Spark Hackathon 2025. We were divided into cross-functional teams, each consisting of a designer, a developer/data analyst/AI and an business analyst, bringing together diverse perspectives to tackle real-world challenges.

The challenge was set by Kuiperbelt, a startup specializing in electric bikes. Each team had 24 hours to develop a realistic business idea and craft a compelling pitch. The final presentation needed to effectively communicate the problem, solution, user experience, feasibility, and business impact to a panel of judges.

To top it off, our team was chosen as the winning team for our brief – a truly rewarding experience.

This fast-paced, high-energy hackathon was an incredible opportunity to collaborate across disciplines, think strategically under pressure, and create innovative solutions with real-world potential.
