# Team PhelanGood
|
|
One man, on a mission, to save the world through the Koding Global Hackathon. Just kidding.

# About Me
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
