Tejas Chakrapani
High-school prodigy, hackathon hero, and occasional superhero
The Legend of Tejas
At 18, most people are figuring out what to major in. Tejas is busy running Hack United - the hackathon community that brings builders together - and stacking trophies like they're going out of style.
13 hackathon wins and counting. That's not a streak, that's a lifestyle. While you were sleeping, he was shipping. While you were shipping, he was winning. The math checks out.
High school senior by day, code wizard by night. When he's not architecting the next big thing, you'll find him at the gym, on the fencing strip, or yelling at a Rutgers football game. A man of many talents, none of which include sitting still.
