What Motivates You to Participate?
I’m motivated by the opportunity to learn about new technologies or apply existing technologies I already know in new ways. Thanks to Devpost, I've learned about augmented reality, distributed lithuania telegram screening databases, and package managers. Without Devpost, it's very unlikely that I would have learned about these technologies or applied them during my day job.

What Is a Challenge You Faced and Overcame Through a Hackathon?
Encountering technologies that I've certainly heard about but have never used is a challenge I overcame with hackathons. A good example is Docker. Up until my participation in Devpost, I had certainly heard of Docker but had never used it. Participating in hackathons, like these by Determined AI and Bunnyshell, incentivized me to learn about Docker, its importance, and how it can be applied to my everyday work. Because of these hackathons, I bought a book on Docker and my knowledge of it has improved significantly.
