TomatoHub – AI-Powered Relief Campaign Platform

LotusHacks x HackHarvard x GenAI Fund Vietnam Hackathon submission

TomatoHub is a full-stack platform for charity operations that helps organizations launch campaigns faster, lets supporters donate or volunteer with clearer trust signals, and keeps campaign activity transparent. The product combines role-based workflows, QR-based check-in/check-out, public transparency logs, and AI-assisted campaign drafting plus supporter recommendations.

Case Study

1) Context / Problem

Emergency and community relief campaigns often suffer from fragmented donation flows, unclear verification, and weak operational visibility after supporters decide to help. The hackathon challenge was to build something practical that increases trust, coordinates support actions, and creates transparency without making organizations depend entirely on automation.

2) Your Role

As a core builder on the team, I worked across product implementation and platform integration: role-based workflows, campaign and supporter flows, transparency-oriented features, and AI-assisted capability wiring inside a full-stack monorepo.

3) Approach

Built TomatoHub as a Next.js + FastAPI + PostgreSQL system with SQLAlchemy/Alembic, JWT auth for supporter/organization/admin roles, campaign media handling, and public-to-private workflow transitions. On top of the core operations layer, the product adds QR check-in/check-out, transparency logs, and AI-assisted recommendation/campaign drafting through model routing.

4) Result / Impact

Delivered a production-oriented hackathon submission with public campaign browsing, donation and volunteer flows, role-based dashboards, and transparency primitives that can be extended beyond the event. The project was published on Devpost with a full repository and product walkthrough assets.

5) Learnings

For civic-tech and charity platforms, trust is a product requirement, not a finishing touch. Clear role boundaries, auditable logs, and manual-first AI assistance create a much stronger foundation than over-automating sensitive workflows too early.
