This year's CU Build in

Teams were evaluated on aspects like innovation, functionality, design, scalability, and mission focus.

Brodee Gillam, innovation specialist at Michigan State University Federal Credit Union (MSUFCU), was on the winning team. "MSUFCU has participated in CU Build for years, but this was my first time," Gillam said. "I highly recommend this event to anyone who might be considering it. CU Build empowers participants to explore and test new ideas in a safe and controlled environment, which helps remove the barriers to innovation that we often face in our own environments."
Ashley Douglas, a programmer analyst at Via Credit Union, was another first-time participant. She shared her perspective: "CU Build is a challenging but rewarding way to discover what you're capable of under pressure and identify areas for improvement. Everyone learns from each other while solving real-life challenges they may have faced as credit union members or employees. The time crunch can be intense, but in the end, it's worth it to push yourself and see what you can achieve. The resources and support available throughout the event make it an invaluable learning experience."
Tushar Singh, software development manager at Chartway Credit Union, was a returning participant. Singh said, "At CU Build, like-minded professionals come together to collaborate and innovate in a high-energy environment for the greater good of the credit union industry. This is exactly why I keep coming back. I would encourage others to participate in the future — not only to sharpen their technical skills and think outside of the box, but to work with peers to develop solutions that solve real-world member challenges."
Brad Hickey, chair of CU Build and manager of application development at American Airlines Federal Credit Union, commented, "Each year, I am both inspired and surprised by the solutions that come out of this event. This year truly underscored the value of combining open technology with a community of open-minded individuals to create member-first solutions that make a difference. I'm grateful to all the participants who brought their best ideas and energy to make this year's event the most competitive and collaborative yet."
"CU Build is unlike any event. It not only brings together credit unions but also vendors who might otherwise be competitors to solve real industry pain points," said Brynn Ammon, president of Credit Union Solutions at Jack Henry. "This year, we saw teams heavily focused on financial prosperity for the members. It was interesting to watch how each team integrated into the Symitar core in unique and creative ways."
