Looking for people to build hackathon projects with, including people still learning to code

A computer science undergrad and AI Systems Engineer Intern at RYSE Technologies is seeking collaborators for hackathon projects, including beginners. They built an orchestrator agent that routes tasks across 3,000+ subagents, reducing misrouted tasks by 40% and achieving 120ms dispatch latency. They have also developed three open-source agentic AI systems and offer mentorship in exchange for committed teammates.

There's a hackathon almost every week right now, agentic AI, open source, AI infra, all of it. I want to enter more of them, and I want to build the team differently than most people do.

I'm a computer science undergrad working as an AI Systems Engineer Intern at RYSE Technologies, where I built the main orchestrator agent that routes tasks across a registry of 3,000+ specialized subagents through intent classification, capability scoring, context assembly, and dispatch. That cut misrouted tasks by roughly 40% and brought dispatch latency to around 120ms.

Outside of that, I've built three agentic AI systems, all open source:

People who can code and want to get better at it fast, especially if you're still early in your learning curve. Here's how I want this to work:

You build the base layout and the parts you're comfortable with. When you get stuck, I help you work through it instead of just handing you the answer. When something is genuinely hard, the kind of bug that eats a whole night, I'll write that part myself so the project actually ships. You leave with a shipped, working project and real code review, not just a participation certificate.

This isn't me disappearing after kickoff and expecting a finished product back. I'm building alongside you. The RabbitHole fix above is the kind of problem I'm good at catching early, before it burns your weekend.

Someone who can actually write code, even if you're not confident in it yet, and who can commit to a real weekend, not just the idea-pitch phase. If you've got a hackathon on your radar and want a team, or you want to build toward one together, reply here or DM me.
