Spring '22 hackathon winners announced!
Talend held its annual company-wide hackathon in May. This year was all about cross-organizational collaboration — and our teams delivered! 30 projects were submitted by more than 133 Talendians across all technical departments (Product, Global Services and Support, Enterprise Data and Analytics, Solution Engineering, and more).
Celebrating the spirit of creativity
Sam Pierson, CTO, was the #1 sponsor for this hackathon — and he could not have been more proud of the outcome.
Hackathons are critical for organizations like Talend. We need these unstructured blocks of time to try new things, to unlock different ideas, and to investigate new technology. Creating space for Talendians to experiment is essential for creative thoughts to blossom.
This year’s submissions were split into 4 categories:
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML)
Data health
Efficiency improvement
Data-driven teams
We received exciting projects in every category. From proposals and POCs for new product capabilities to ideas on new approaches to better understanding our customers, the variety of submissions was impressive — and made it hard to choose winners from so many great ideas.
And the Talend hackathon 2022 winners are . . .
