TecBan's open banking hackathon took place in 2020, bringing teams together to build solutions on the bank's open APIs within a short timeframe. Tiago Danin was part of the winning team with the app Bicos, built in 56 hours during the event.
Bicos connected informal workers, known in Brazil as 'bicos', to available service requests. Payment went straight to the worker's account through TecBan's open banking APIs, with no intermediaries taking a cut. The win was covered by Canaltech, a Brazilian technology outlet.
The hackathon happened while Tiago Danin was a mobile developer at VoxData Technology (2019 to 2022) and was already organizing tech events in Belem, such as Devs Norte and GDG Belem, since 2019.
