Saint John Community Hackathon: Build with Google AI
Details
Welcome to the GDG Saint John Hackathon! Join us for a dynamic 1-day in-person event where you'll dive into Google AI tools.
Your mission: develop an innovative app that consolidates Saint John community event listings into one seamless platform.
This isn't about crafting perfect code; it’s about rapid experimentation, learning, and creating impactful solutions for our community. You'll also get exclusive access to the cutting-edge Gemma 4 models.
Form a team, brainstorm groundbreaking ideas, and have a working prototype ready to pitch before time runs out.

Hi, I’m Eli — a Digital Transformation Manager based in New Brunswick, Canada. With a background in systems administration and a growing specialization in cybersecurity and cloud infrastructure, I help organizations (like the YMCA) streamline operations, secure their environments, and improve community technology access.
🔐 I’m passionate about security-first IT, PCI DSS compliance, and using technology to solve real-world problems. I’m currently upskilling in cloud services and Python development, while supporting privacy, digital forensics, and sustainable tech policy initiatives.
💬 Always open to connect on topics like:
IT in nonprofit environments
Cloud security and governance
Digital law and cybersecurity policy
Community tech engagement
Let’s build secure, inclusive, and future-proof systems—together.
