Hey! You've actually visited our page(?). We are pumpedDevs! We're thrilled to be part of the first Global Hackathon, well actually, this is the first hackathon for some of us. :)
Hi, we are pumpedDevs(pumped developers)! We're composed of 4 developers who love to develop apps for mobile and for web.
The team was created months ago (May 2014) before Koding's Global Hackathon. The original members were me(Ron), Bryan, and a friend of mine(Not in the competition). We established this team because of some reasons and our main goal is to start our own. We wanted to build our own start up company. Our problem is, we don't have any idea how; also our time and budget won't allow us. (We have full-time and part time jobs. Long story on why we can't quit in any.)
The time when we discovered the hackathon, we were so excited. But when we saw that there were only 1000(2000 now) slots for the hackathon, the excitement went down since we thought that it was somehow "impossible" for us(me) to be chosen. But I still tried! I told them, "If we will be chosen, I will treat you guys!". So eventually, I treated them at a coffee shop(Starbucks)!
After a while, I asked the other two members to join us in this hackathon, Kenneth, my classmate when I was in college, and Joell who used to be our professor. They both develop for the web and they're really great at it so I thought they'd be perfect for the team and so I invited them. I also had an experience developing with them so I think it's an edge for us.
The team's goal for this competition is to have fun in the hackathon, show what we can do and what we can contribute. We think that this event is a big help for us to reach our goal which is to create our own start up company which can be beneficial for a lot of people. Winning in this competition might be hard and intimidating, but what isn't? We'll give it a shot and do our best!
All of us use the following technologies:
- PHP
- Javascript
- HTML5
All of the themes given are really interesting. We're still thinking which will fit our skills.
I know this page is a bit long so here's a sweet potato. 🍠 Sorry for the long post
