Gabriel Gómez Téllez

Hey! I’m Gabo — a backend developer and data engineer with a strong ML focus, passionate about building solutions that are as scalable as they are smart. I thrive in hackathon settings where scrappy prototypes meet solid engineering, and where a good idea can become a working demo overnight. With a background in fintech and hands-on experience managing ML services, orchestrating ETL pipelines on Databricks, and deploying full-stack apps with Docker, I bring both speed and structure to the table. I’m fluent in Python, love working with Pandas, PySpark, SQL, and tools like Django, Flask, and Next.js when the project calls for it. I’m also active in the local tech scene here in Puebla, where I help foster the Python community through PyTalavera. Let’s connect if you’re into clean code, clever hacks, or just vibing over tacos and terminal logs.

Bernard Kobos

tech x entrepreneurship getriver.io |šŸ¤– img-cut.aishoot.co | āš”ā‚æ sats.rs | saucelabs.com Hey! Co-Founder of River here My name is Bernard but everyone calls me Berni šŸ˜€ I am a technologist with multiple years of hands-on experience in running highly scalable distributed systems under rigoristic reliability requirements (creating tech itself, architecture and managing teams). Last startup I was a part of grew from ~15 people to $100MM ARR. I love working at intersection of technology and entrepreneurship. My goal is to deliver value while innovating both on tech and business side of things. I'd love to meet you and learn about you and your journey! Let's talk! šŸ™Œ

Travis

Hey, I'm Travis. I've spent the last eight years building products from CPG, Saas, and mobile, but my favorite projects happen on weekends—like the email bot that saved a friend's startup 40 hours a week, or the tool that turns medical PDFs into notes so my wife can focus on patients instead of paperwork. I started Buildx because building alone gets old. We meet up, hack on stuff, help newcomers ship their first product. Pretty straightforward. Excited to see what everyone builds at this hackathon. Whether you're new to AI or been at it for years, come as you are. The best ideas usually come from unexpected places. Let's build together.

Agrima Nidhi Sharma

Hey everyone! I'm Agrima — an AI consultant, a vibe coder, and a curious soul who took the scenic route through INSEAD to land at the intersection of tech, creativity, and community. By day, I help professionals and businesses unlock the magic of AI without needing to touch a line of code. And by night? I’m here, vibing with bold ideas and building what sparks joy. This hackathon is all about energy, experimentation, and execution — and I’m thrilled to host this offline jam right here in Delhi to bring the Bolt Vibe alive, in person. Let’s build smart, let’s build bold, and most importantly — let’s vibe while we create.

Christian Kaiser

Hey, I’m Christian – a Webflow designer/dev who recently fell down the React + AI tools rabbit hole and somehow ended up here. šŸ‘‹ I’ve been building websites for a while, mostly in Webflow, but now I’m diving into React and exploring tools like Bolt.new. The upcoming Hackathon felt like the perfect excuse to try something new – and finally stop building alone behind my screen. I’m here to connect with others who love creative tech, side projects, or just want to share ideas (or snacks) during hackathons. If you're somewhere nearby and up for co-working, co-building, or co-anything – I’m in. Let’s not do this solo.
