About my team (well, me really)
|
|
===========================
|
|
Team member: Naglaa Eid (aka nagheid or nag for short ;) )
|
|
|
|
I am a final year Software Engineering undergraduate student at the University of Ottawa in Ottawa, ON, Canada.
|
|
|
|
If I am not coding, I am either climbing walls or trying to get discovered by a bear in a forest. Or finding a roof in town that is cool enough to hang out on.

Why I decided to join?
|
|
=======
|
|
As a busy student with finals this week, I decided to join a hackathon for the fun of it. And trust me, they are super fun. Ah, I feel the adrenaline already!!
|
|
|
|
Between CO-OPs and part-time jobs, I have around 2.5 years of software experience. With an engineering degree, you'd think when do I have time? And I don't. That's why I am joining this hackathon. After 5 years of studying engineering and filling my resume with high-tech jobs. I seek more "hackathony" experience to create the things *I* want ... I joined a hackathon by Facebook and it was the BEST thing ever. After that, I started treating all my assignments as hackathons. Pfff of course I don't leave them till the last minute just so I am can pull an all-nighter and get it all working from scratch fully functional with extra features just for fun. No! ... Yes, yes I do. It feels so AWESOME to create something spectacular in a heck of a sleepless night.
