Randall Hunt

Class of 2011
"hackNY jumpstarted my career. A random kid from western North Carolina, I got transported to the center of the NY tech community and given unfettered access to a whole new world of opportunity. The blend of hands-on-keyboard practical experience, networking with socially-conscious technologists, and camaraderie among fellows was unparalleled. The connections made, skills honed, and values instilled during my time in the 2011 fellowship program were pivotal in my career and in my life. I would never be where I am today without hackNY. I strongly urge everyone to donate and support hackNY in molding the next generation of responsible tech leaders in NYC."
