You\u2019ve made a name for yourself around campus for the handmade crafts you create from your dorm room. Your wares have gotten so popular in fact, that you consider selling them online\u2014a side hustle that might just bring in some extra dough for better supplies (and maybe a nice dinner at a nearby restaurant).<\/p>\n<p>You could list your crafts on existing sites such as Etsy or Amazon, but these platforms take a cut of your profits. Plus, you\u2019ve taken a computer science class or two, so you know a bit about building a rudimentary website. But to get beyond the basics requires access to more powerful servers, not to mention a certain finesse that you just haven\u2019t learned, or haven\u2019t wanted to learn, yet.<\/p>\n<p>Enter: CloudWeaver. The project would connect would-be website builders with easy to navigate, cloud-based computing services. CloudWeaver would help users generate code to build out their own websites and connect users with helpful tools to navigate the maze-like process.<\/p>\n<p>Created by Max Karambelas (ENG\u201924, CDS\u201924), George Trammell (CDS\u201924), Luis Mavarez (CAS\u201924), Jimin Park (CAS\u201924), and Andrea Rojas Doupovec (CFA\u201925, CAS\u201925), CloudWeaver took home the judges\u2019 choice award at the spring 2024 BU Spark! Demo Day competition on May 2.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt meant a lot to win,\u201d says Karambelas. \u201cIt was rewarding to see that the work I and my team put into this really came to fruition.\u201d He says the team is planning to present their project, which is still in development, at DevConf.US 2024, a professional technology conference being held at the University in August.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/articles\/2024\/cloudweaver-wins-spring-spark-demo-day\/\" class=\"button-primary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read the Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Spring 2024 BU Spark!
