Akraino Hackathon Experience On seeing a Facebook post about a hackathon in Qualcomm, San Diego, I was naturally inclined to attend it considering the proximity and value addition it had to offer. After treating ourselves to cookies and coffee, we began brainstorming approaches to solve a problem related to smart cities. After going through the slides and evaluating our options, we finally decided to develop an air quality analytics system. We developed a comparative model between Los Angeles and San Diego to explore possibility of location-specific alert generation system for air quality standards. We learnt the importance of edge-computing and familiarized ourselves with the latest technologies in different companies at the hackathon - ARMArm, China Mobile etc. I connected with wonderful people like Tina Tsou and Robert Wolff, whom I had the pleasure of meeting again at the Arm IoT Dev Summit in Mountain View, California on Dec 2-3rd, 2019. I hope to stay in touch with the community and contribute towards furthering technology on the edge. ~Nitish Nagesh, 2nd year CSE master student, UC San Diego
