2018 Year in Review

A look back at the events that occurred in 2018 at Synthesis. From the annual hackathons to an office nerf war, 2018 had many memorable moments.

In 2018, Synthesis also moved to a new larger office in Melrose Arch and hosted a AWS Breakfast session for our financial services clients. The Synthesis team participated in several hackathons, and the winning teams were rewarded with an advanced driving course.

The team spent Mandela Day giving back to the community by painting several classrooms and laying down carpet at Afrika Tikkun.
