Opentable Hackathon October 2020 - we came 2nd out of 34!!
Opentable held our 4th annual hackathon this week for 3 days Oct 13-15. Over 80 ideas were submitted and 34 ideas were actively worked on for the hackathon. Participants spanned all the Opentable offices including: San Francisco, New York, Mumbai, London, Melbourne and where-ever we all are these days. I've been involved in every Opentable hackathon since 2017 when I was on the #1 overall winning team "Invite Friends" (woot!), to 2019 when I helped organize that years hackathon to 2020 when I returned to being a participant on the "Personal Collections" hack. The "Personal Collections" hack is to a hack add slick support in Opentable.com for users to create, maintain and share lists of their favorite restaurants for various occasions as well as find and follow others lists. We had a team of 6 people across London and San Francisco offices, 2 designers and 4 engineers. I believe you should use the hackathon as an opportunity to do something different.
