Who we serve
As of now, Hack the World is available for high school education. We are in the proccess of creating partnerships with local charters to educate high school students in Louisiana virtually. If the student body that you intend us to serve is special needs, we limit our partnerships with high schools and non-profit organizations specifically in the New Orleans area to provide our best support.
Team
CEO, Eric O'Neal
Originally from New Orleans, relocated to Atlanta during Hurricane Katrina, but I am born and raised a NOLA kid. I attended Xavier university of Louisiana and graduated from Operation Spark, a local software development bootcamp. I worked on projects for GE, Revelry Labs, Krit, Tulane University, and Virginia Tech. My main interests revolve around family, tech, and sports. Other than being with friends in family I enjoy most things tech. Video games are a big pass time for me, i enjoy RPG's games where i can be my own character and just explore the world.
CTO, Akintunde Pounds
Originally from the Midwest, I moved to New Orleans when I was a child. As a kid, although I wanted to make videos games, I believed I could not learn the programmming knowledge neccessary to be a video game developer. That all changed when I was engrossed myself in a network of software engineers. Like my partner Eric, I also graduated from Operation Spark. I was an instructor at Operation for two years and also worked on various projects for Revelry Labs. I also enjoy exploring blockchain technology, especially open source. Some of my favorite hobbies include spending time with my family and making electronic music.
