The problem HackMatch solves

Think of Tinder, but for everything else than dating. Got an amazing idea but no teammate? Organizing a hackathon/event/conference but no sponsors/mentors? Looking for jobs, but nobody's hiring? We have a one-stop solution for you - a salad of every productivity app topped with a tasty UI.

Searching for teammates for a hackathon or interns for a project is now easier thanks to our Knowledge-Graph Query System. Users are defined by their skill set and a set of scores, essentially converting each person into an indexable vector. The vast possibilty of expertises in domains ensures that no two people (according to our math😉) can ever have the same profile.

Aspiring to mentor for a hackathon but no replies? Our premium model allows a boost in profile reach so you can hit more events in and around your area of interest. Short-term investment for long-term career goals!

Jobhunt huh? We know that last interview was really tough to find... and they didn't even get back to you? No worries, new users get a week's worth of profile boost to hit those companies you really want. Make the most of it!

Challenges we ran into

Deploying the website online on Render surely put us in a tough spot. The cuplrit was a small error in routing. The institute's wifi (which we were connected to while running locally) had some IP address constraint. But later it was resolved.

Coming up with an algorithm for the recommender system was the hardest. We developed our own key-query-value framework (borrowed from attention models) for use in knowledge graphs in HackMatch. Another showstopper was integrating Gemini to assess, analyse and grade resumes to improve user profiles. Man, prompt engineering is such a pain in the butt!
