Dear Judges,
I would like to provide a brief update regarding my submission, Sentinel*.
Today, the Google Cloud credits that I relied on to develop and host the project were exhausted, which resulted in the associated billing account being closed and the project becoming unavailable.
As a student developer working independently, I built Sentinel* using the resources made available through the hackathon program. Unfortunately, I do not currently have the financial means to continue funding the cloud infrastructure required to keep the deployment active after the credits were depleted.
Despite this setback, the project itself remains complete. The source code, architecture, implementation, and demonstration materials accurately represent the work that was built and tested while the infrastructure was operational.
Sentinel* was created from a desire to address real-world problems through agentic AI and cloud technology. Every aspect of the project—from the concept and research to the design and implementation—was developed independently with the goal of creating something genuinely useful, innovative, and impactful.
I hope the project can be evaluated based on its technical merit, creativity, architecture, and vision. If any additional documentation, recordings, explanations, or access to the codebase would be helpful, I would be happy to provide them.
Thank you for your time, consideration, and for providing students and independent builders like myself the opportunity to bring ambitious ideas to life.
Sincerely,
Nestroy Musoke Sentinel* Developer
