EcoPulse Hackathon 2025 sponsored by aramco . Day 0 last night. for the "eh Riz you're everywhere these days" crowd .. of course i was there. this is one event i was looking forward to be part of, to be mentoring future leaders and sharing my experiences.

already i could spot a fair few smart cookies amongst the participants, with a very bright future ahead of them. with the interesting challenges posed, i'm really looking forward to what the teams will come up with over this weekend.

there was also quite a few familiar faces (or rather, they recognised me first) present .. including some attendees from last week's DDD Perth, and those i only recently met like John Fitzgerald.

but especially. it's really good to have a recent padawan like Oman having the opportunity to work the event together.

ps. everywhere? i think it's more like mostly Curtin Uni these days ...
