Open-source tooling extensions for ODK-compatible data collection: an offline constraint validation library, a multilingual form translation toolkit, and a conflict-aware sync engine for unreliable network environments. Used by humanitarian organizations worldwide to collect data that drives resource allocation decisions.
Solving: Humanitarian field workers lose critical data when connectivity drops and can't adapt forms for local languages
An open-source coordination platform for disaster response volunteers. During the critical first 72 hours after a disaster, FirstHours helps volunteers see where help is needed, what supplies are available, and how to avoid duplicating effort, all without requiring accounts or complex onboarding.
Solving: Disaster response volunteers lack real-time coordination tools
A searchable API and contributor-matching layer on top of open climate tech project data. Helps developers find climate projects that match their skills and are actively seeking contributors, accelerating the velocity of open-source climate action.
Solving: Climate tech developers waste months rediscovering tools that already exist, and promising projects die from lack of contributors

Solving: Educational content is inaccessible to learners with disabilities
An open-source REST API and SDK that calculates carbon footprint estimates for common activities. Developers can integrate carbon awareness into any application. Ride-sharing apps can show trip emissions, meal planners can compare dietary impact, and personal finance apps can estimate purchase footprints.
Solving: Individuals have no easy way to measure their carbon footprint
A real-time inventory and matching platform for food banks, shelters, and community organizations. Organizations post surplus or needs, and the system suggests optimal redistribution routes based on proximity, expiration dates, and capacity.
Solving: Food banks waste surplus while nearby shelters go without
