What is NGT360?:
NGT360 is a youth tech "Shark Tank" in the Tampa Bay area. We would get together a team and get paired with buisness mentors from the area to guide our ideas to a product pitch competition at the end. From 2021-2023 I led 2 different teams and products to 1st and 2nd place respectively winning over $13,500 in grants, leading to conversations with Kevin Harrington and Raymod James Associates.
LogicCalendar (2nd Place 2023)
The idea behind logic calendar is that it automates location based appointment scheduling for service providers like photographers or tutors. The small buisness sends their personal link and our system automatically calcuates drive time and gives the customer a few generated time slots that work with the schedule.
I personally worked on the back-end. The website ran on a linux server, running a MySQL database, and generating personalized pages with PHP. I also wrote the scheduling algorithm which used Google APIs to calculate a web of driving times, and offering the customer time slots that were more optimal for the company.

HydroDisc (1st Place 2022)
HydroDisc was a concept smart bottle attatchment, It would allow you to track your drink consumption. Furthermore by using it's app you could input what beverage you were drinking, thus also counting calories. Most importantly, it would remind you to drink before you got thirsty based on some basic body data. We were very successful, winning the competition, pitching to Kevin Harrington and even Raymod James. Unfortunately, initial manufacturing costs are very high, and a competitor appeared with a similar concept.
