The National Missing Persons Hackathon is a non-theoretical capture-the-flag (CTP) competition in which participants source intelligence and potential leads on real missing person cases during a six-hour event.

Participants are awarded points based on the number of submissions, such as: 
  - recent photos
  - last known locations
  - social media accounts
  - associates

This year my team (consisting of 2 members) placed 7th against 212 other teams.
We were also able to source recent information indicating the whereabouts of a person who had been evading police for roughly 10 years.

Placing bronze in both the 2011 and 2012 Australian National Judo Championships, I was fortunate enough to qualify for the 2013 Youth Olympic Trials in Wollongong, NSW. I weighed in the -60kg division competing against 25 other competitors, placing 8th overall.

Even though I didn't win gold in the Olympics, I did take home a bronze for the National Championships, and I am grateful for being given the opportunity to compete in the tournoment.
