About the Team
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
We are Team Banana Stand. We're from Toronto, Canada.

TL;DR: Travis, Peony and Jason are partial-full stack developers and Manu is a janitor. They all share a common love for science.
|
|
|
|
1. Peony is a web designer and front-end developer. She prefers to work at the bleeding edge of front-end spec, and her workflow would probably make Paul Irish jealous.
|
|
2. Manu is not a janitor IRL, he's more like a services savant. If you need service development, or simply some sweet Python magic, he's your man.
|
|
3. When he's not busy saving the world from best practice failures or thinking of what to tweet next, Jason is busy building stuff while using a mindblowing variety of resources. Apps, web-apps, APIs, you name it. If Macgyver needed the equivalent of a developer swiss-army knife, Jason would make the role.
|
|
4. Travis is a front-end developer who has a lot of experience with devops because it "comes with the territory". In a previous life, he was a backend dev. On that note, he's currently doing his best to hate PHP and love NodeJS.
|
|
|
|
Joining was Peony's idea, and needless to say, we all jumped at the chance to be a part of global hackathon. Win or lose, we're looking to challenge ourselves by implementing as much as possible into our final idea.

Skills and Plans
|
|
=======
|
|
As a combined team, we use these languages on the daily:
|
|
- Javascript
|
|
- Python
|
|
- Scala
|
|
- Objective C
|
|
- Java
|
|
- PHP
|
|
|
|
APIs that we are like include but are not limited to:
|
|
- DATADOG
|
|
- Twitter
|
|
- Google Predictions
|
|
- Google Geocoding
|
|
- Google Freebase
|
|
|
|
We're trying to come up with an impressive idea that has a tight-enough scope to complete in time. Ideally this is going to be a web-app that's out-of-the-box in nature, is built on services leveraging a plethora of APIs, and has a gorgeous front end. After throwing ideas around for the past few evenings, the team is mostly talking about going with either themes #1 or #5.
