From December 9 to 11, Grid Dynamics held an internal hackathon “Stand with Ukraine.” The aim was to build a modern and handy app to serve the humanitarian purposes of the country. The event occurred in a hybrid format and attracted the company’s specialists from Ukraine, Poland, Croatia, and other countries.
In total, 46 Grid Dynamics’ employees participated in the coding challenge to make their intellectual input for the benefit of Ukraine. Six teams presented their innovative projects to mentors. “You are missed at home” was selected as a winning team. The engineers developed a mobile app to find people who went missing during the war. Its AI-powered system helps identify a person by their face and remarkable features (scars, tattoos, birthmarks, etc.). Every day, the number of such requests grows, and the app solves this severe problem.
