  • Luis Roberto Schoenfeld

The University of Edinburgh Informatics Society hackathon, 30 teams were challenged in finding the best use of a Twitter API. to solve community and communication problems. Bring people together.

I was part of a team with a different set of complementary skills that propelled our project "#Hashtag Hack" to win the Twitter API challenge and be awarded Top 3.
Developed a web-based app to search for trending topics in any location, followed by 5 essential information points to understand what the hashtag means and represents in order to increase community knowledge, generate a larger user engagement, and construct on hashtag value.
