Just kidding. + +# About Me +![Hubert](http://i.imgur.com/niC2HLh.png) + +Hi, my name is Hubert Chen. I am a student studying Software Engineering at Monmouth University, which is located in New Jersey, +USA. + +I would like to join this hackathon because it will be a great opportunity to challenge myself to build something that can +create a positive impact. After 4 years of school, I believe I have accumulated enough knowledge to build a full stack system. + +As your typical broke college student, winning any sort of prize money would be a extremely helpful. However, given the sheer +amount of teams (2,000 maximum) and probably being on the low end of experience in the Top Hacker category, the odds of myself +winning are unlikely. This does not deter me. Instead, I hope to try the best that I can and when the competition has subsided, +analyze other people's work in the hopes that I may find new ways of approaching problems and designing solutions. + +Regardless of whether I get accepted, I would like to applaud the Koding team for hosting this event. + +Thank you. + +# About the Project +As it isn't the time to learn new technologies, I will be sticking with easy to use and familar technologies. My stack will include: +Koding for hosting, Apache, MySQL, PHP, Bootstrap, CSS, JQuery, JS, and HTML. + +Theme: Problems facing our planet, explained using interactive data visualization. + +*APIs: Data.gov, Census.gov, WorldBank.org, Ip2Country through MashApe. + +*This is bound to change as I am still playing around with a few ideas.
