How I got here # Hey! I’m Hoang Xuan Phuc, but everyone just calls me Felix.

Today, I want to share my experience with you about the project I worked on during the Steam Hacks 2023 competition.

It was a standard HP Prodesk 600 G4—nothing special, and since I already had a PC and a laptop, I had no idea what to do with it. Just installing Windows on it felt like a waste. I knew it could be something more than just another desktop collecting dust.

This product emerged from my participation in the BASF Innovation Challenge, a national competition that empowers students to devise sustainability solutions, where we secured the 3rd Runner Up prize. While our aim was not the highest award, this competition established a robust foundation for me and our team to persist in researching and developing solutions to address the serious issue of e-waste
