About Astrid

Jon is a Bay Area native who went to UC Berkeley to study physics and meet Jane, the love of his life and team page copy editor! After graduation, Jon served as a campus minister at Berkeley and Stanford, working with emerging leaders to make the world a better place. As CEO, Jon leads the Astrid team with a passion to leverage technology to improve peoples' lives.

If Astrid had a father, it would be Tim. After graduating from Stanford in 2007, Tim joined the data-loving world of Palantir Technologies as an early engineer. In 2008, while on vacation in Las Vegas, Tim built the first version of Astrid. He currently leads the technical side of Astrid as CTO, and on the side, searches the world for great images of cats.

Henry leads UX and other efforts at Astrid. Before that, he was a management consultant at Bain & Company, got his undergrad and masters degrees at Stanford, and studied under sculptor Wei Li Wang.

During college at Washington University in St. Louis, Andrew built iPhone apps that received tens of thousand of downloads and helped deliver the original iPhone app for Eventbrite. He once won a Texas steak challenge by finishing a 72 oz steak with a pound and a half of sides in under an hour.

Sam is Stanford grad who spent a year in UC Irvine's PhD program in Software Architecture at UC Irvine before joining the Astrid team. Sam loves hacking Google APIs, writing unit tests, and playing jazz trumpet.

Preston makes sure Astrid's products are bug free. He studied Economics at the University of San Francisco and managed a team at Office Depot. He is the Astrid team's resident pop culture guru.

Although Josh was lead engineer at Tagged before joining Astrid, he never graduated from Oxford. In fact, he never attended Oxford at all. He spends most of his time obsessing over details. When he comes to the realization that r is not a hex digit, he'll return to waging the war against copied and pasted code.

Isaac is a proud native of LA who went to Stanford to study Electrical Engineering and Music, Science, and Technology. Besides Astrid, Isaac loves learning about and serving Jesus, rocking out on the piano / guitar / drums, going on epic multi-day bike rides, and making horrendous puns.
