A Side Quest That Got Slightly Out of Hand

Harvard Crimson Business Competition, 2025

A 48-hour competition, a four-person team, and an AI plus augmented-reality golf caddie. It ended as Senior Division Global Champion — but the useful part was the reminder that an idea is only as good as the team that can actually execute it.

What happened

What started as a 48-hour competition became one of my favorite reminders that an idea is only as good as the team that can actually execute it. I led a four-person team in the Harvard Crimson Business Competition, where we developed and pitched an AI + augmented-reality golf-caddie concept and won the Senior Division Global Championship.

What it actually changed

Who would use it? Why would they care? What could we realistically build? How should four people divide the work when the clock is running?

Those questions have followed me into research and other projects ever since.
