We break bugs, not code.
Welcome to the official GitHub organization of The Null Pointers, a team of passionate developers, designers, and innovators who came together during CodeFest 2024 — Nepal’s largest hackathon — to build tech that solves real problems.
In the heart of Nepal’s buzzing tech scene, CodeFest 2024 brought together the brightest young minds in a 48-hour sprint of creativity and caffeine. Among them was a newly-formed team of curious individuals who had one goal: to build something meaningful.
That’s where The Null Pointers was born.
We didn’t have years of experience or corporate titles. What we had was:
- A shared vision to improve lives through technology.
- A lot of coffee.
- And a bold project idea: MedTracker — a digital health record system tailored for Nepal.
In just two days, we brainstormed, coded, laughed, struggled, and pushed ourselves to the limit. But at the end of it all, we walked away with:
- A working prototype of MedTracker
- A stronger belief in the power of collaboration
- Open Source for Good: We believe technology should be accessible and impactful.
- Learning by Building: Every project is a classroom. We fail fast, learn faster.
- Team Over Titles: We’re here to grow together. Ego is the only thing we leave at the door.
- Solving Real Problems: We love ideas, but we love execution more. Our projects aim to serve real communities.
A government-grade digital health record system that enables secure, accessible, and centralized healthcare data for citizens, hospitals, and authorities. Built during CodeFest 2024, now evolving into a full-scale open source initiative.
We’re students, developers, and dreamers from different backgrounds — united by our curiosity and code.
Meet the team behind the bugs:
- Sangam Adhikari
- Sandesh Chapagai
- Shishir Adhikari
The Null Pointers is more than just a hackathon team — it’s now a growing collective of builders. We plan to:
- Open source our projects for the tech community of Nepal
- Contribute to civic tech and public service innovation
- Mentor new developers and participate in future hackathons
“We may be null, but our ideas never throw exceptions.”
