Black Forest Hackathon
shippedOur entry for the Nagarro challenge, under the Smart Region theme — 48h on-site in Offenburg. Write-up coming soon.
We are hackhog — a two-person hackathon duo that builds prototypes in 48-hour bursts. Hardware, software, AI, CAD — we like the boundary between mechanics and code, and we don't pick favourites.
Hackhog exists because the best 48 hours of any year are the ones where you skip the meeting and just build. Hardware on the table, repo on day one, demo loop by hour two.
Green pipes, preview deploys, typed schemas. Boring infra is a competitive edge.
If a feature isn't in the demo flow, it's not in the repo. One polished surface beats five rough ones.
Loading states, empty states, micro-copy, sound, mechanical fits. Judges remember texture.
We solder, we type, we 3D-print, we deploy. The fun is in the seams between the two.
A duo of generalists. We rotate roles per hack but both of us commit, both of us solder, both of us pitch. Meet us →
Electrical engineer. Writes the software, owns the signal-processing side, and keeps the project on track when the deadline closes in.
Mechatronics engineer. Lives in the seams — solders the boards, models the parts, writes the code, trains the model that ties it together.
We just got back from our first event. More details on the builds page →

We're open for invites, sponsorships, and the occasional contracted prototype. Tell us what you're building — we'll tell you if we can ship it in a weekend.
