What I did
- Built out ShelfLife as our pitch product: an AI-powered refrigerator that tracked every item going in and out, and each one's macros
- Designed it to help families see which foods they were running short of, and make recipes with good macros
- Pitched it to a panel of professors and VCs
- Won, competing against more than 70 other students. The prize was a recommendation letter from the lead professor, Dr. Fox
