It was a pleasure to learn from the bests, to grow as a dev and a creator, and to surround myself with people who also believe in building the future one insane idea at a time.

Much love to all the entrepreneurs, tinkerers, late night coders and pixel warriors out here. And Good luck with Hackathon Results :)

I participated in the Bolt.new World’s Largest Hackathon and built two impactful projects:

🎀 InterviewReady – AI Mock Interview Platform
A resume-aware, video-based interview simulator using Tavus and OpenAI GPT to give personalized feedbackβ€”built entirely without a backend.

πŸš— Wheely – All-in-One Hourly Vehicle Rental App
A cross-platform app for renting bikes, scooters, and cars on-demand, featuring dynamic booking, multi-language support, and a unique subletting system.

It was a great learning experience where I explored rapid prototyping, AI integrations, and building scalable, user-focused solutions.

Just submitted my piece for the challenge!

Built GetFake.ai in 30 days β€” a real-time AI that detects fake luxury products using GPT-4 Vision + Gemini + Supabase.

Thanks to the Bolt team and DEV for creating a space where ideas like this can grow.

This wasn’t just a hackathon project it’s the beginning of something big.
