# The Washington Redskins
We are five high-school students from Los Angeles, only one of whom actually plays football.
Our name was inspired by South Park episode ["Go Fund Yourself" (Season 18, Episode 1)](http://southpark.cc.com/full-episodes/s18e01-go-fund-yourself) and we in no way other than name affiliated with the National Football League team of the same name.
## About our team

`Ethan`'s experience lies primarily with Java, although he has dabbled in and is learning other languages. He has published two applications: [En Garde](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ethanmad.fencingscorekeeper), an Android fencing score-keeping app, and [HyperTyper](http://ethanmad.com/HyperTyper), a Chrome extension that helps (cheats) in online typing competitions. He has little experience with the Web outside of static websites, so he is looking to learn a lot with The Washington Redskins.
`David` is passionate about teaching others how to 'Kode', as demonstrated by his project, [Koding 4 Kids](http://koding4kids.com). Right now, however, his teaching is on hold until we teach y'all a lesson.
`Christian`, also known as 'quantum' or '[paralin](http://parl.in)' is known primarily for [D2Moddin](http://paral.in/the-d2moddin-project/), which brought custom game modes to DoTA 2. Christian's resume also includes an in-progress [Kerbal Space Program multiplayer mod](https://github.com/KerbalMultiplayerCommunity/Universe), [a system for massive p2p networks](http://paral.in/airnet-p2p-internet-of-things/), and several meteor and angular libraries.
`James` is an algorithms expert and is top 50 on the USACO rankings in 2014. James actually [invented the subordinate-sequential search algorithm](https://koding.com/jlennon1) with the help of fellow Koders. James has also created several published games, including [Nebulus](https://itunes.apple.com/app/nebulous-multiplayer-space/id874328065?mt=8) and [Driftlight](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/driftlight/id908131148?mt=8).
`Jake` is an esteemed hacker who often goes by the name of '4chan'. He's apparently very infamous. You better not go and tell CNN his real name!
## What we're making
It's quite possible that we are inventing the most revolutionary product ever made! [As part of our review of playing field, we have decided to move forward with cloud-based early adopter. Skate to where the puck is going to be.](http://projects.wsj.com/buzzwords2014/#p=13%7C35,13%7C%7C6%7C%7C2%7C2).
[Expect us on Kickstarter] [1] [soon] [2]!
