About the Opportunity

TechElevate is hosting an online hackathon on September 19th where student teams will build a "multitool" app. While we can evaluate the front-end experience internally, we lack someone with deep IT infrastructure expertise to properly assess the backend: code structure, architecture decisions, and how well the system is built to actually support multiple integrated tools. Without this expertise, technically strong submissions risk being under-scored relative to teams with flashier but less robust builds. We're looking for an experienced IT infrastructure professional to judge this technical dimension for the first time.

The consultant will serve as a judge for our September 19th hackathon (10:00 AM–12:45 PM via Zoom), with judging concentrated in the final 30 minutes (12:15–12:45 PM); they're welcome to stay and observe earlier portions if interested. They will evaluate each team's backend code and technical architecture, assessing structure, quality, and how well the system supports the app's combined functionality, then factor this into final scoring. Success looks like an expert, code-literate assessment that fairly rewards technical soundness and gives students concrete feedback on their engineering choices.
