The Judges

We're thrilled to have an incredible line up of judges for our no-code competitive hack this month.

Leigha Reid, Head of Product & DevRel, FlutterFlow

A technologist who's passionate about data, developer tooling, and UX design. You can usually find Leigha elbow-deep in code or some new tool- either testing a workflow, trying to automate something or prototyping a new idea.

Flutterflow was founded by two former Google engineers who wanted to make it easier for designers, developers, and entrepreneurs to build mobile apps. Using their simple drag-and-drop interface, you can build a fully functioning app in as little as an hour.
