1st place, Raumdeuter AI track · Campus Founders AI Hackathon, Heilbronn, May 2026
Privacy-First Fan Intelligence Pipeline
Football clubs want AI on their fan messages. Every fan message is full of names, emails, and booking IDs.
PII is detected and masked before any LLM call (Microsoft Presidio, spaCy, regex, custom German rules), a second safety gate blocks the call if anything leaks, and only masked text ever reaches the model or the database. Six pluggable LLM providers, a FastAPI and PostgreSQL backend, a Next.js frontend, and 77 pytest tests including PII leak tests. Built in five days; I wrote the entire codebase for our team of three.
Won the track with a working implementation, not a concept: about 100 applicants, 17 teams selected across five tracks. The challenge sponsor followed up with an internship offer.
