## Team Cerberus Gate
|
|
|
|
At the inaugural Red Team Hackathon, I competed with **Team Cerberus Gate** on the **Find My Force** challenge.
|
|
|
|
Our team built a prototype aimed at classifying RF signals, identifying modulation schemes, and estimating emitter locations. It was a fast-paced systems problem that combined software, signal understanding, and rapid iteration under pressure.
|
|
|
|
## Result
|
|
|
|
Our team finished **3rd place** and also received the **Best Dressed Award**.
|
|
|
|
## Why it mattered to me
|
|
|
|
This was the kind of challenge I enjoy most: ambiguous requirements, technical constraints, short timelines, and a working prototype that had to come together quickly.
|
|
|
|
It also gave me a chance to build alongside a strong team and work on a problem that blended software engineering, signal analysis, and practical decision-making.
