Meet The Harvest Team Say Hello to the fine folks who make Harvest such a great application!
-
Danny Wen
Co-founder
In constant pursuit of knowledge in life and business, Danny enjoys solving puzzles and problems. Since achieving his first dream job as a paperboy at a young age, he's learned to dream bigger. These days, the puzzles are more complex and that's the way he likes them.
10hour bike rides from Manhattan to the tip of Long Island clear Danny's head.

Shawn Liu
Co-founder
Likes: ambiguity, guava, Golden State Warriors, and that nerdy girl on Community. Dislikes: the fact that he's the only one on the Harvest team who cannot play a musical instrument.
4.22minutes it takes Shawn to make a mean pot of coffee for the team every morning.

Barry Hess
Developer
Post college, Barry moved to the big city (with over 20,000 people!) to find himself. After wandering for seven years, he finally found his purpose in Harvest. He spends his days slinging Rails code in the four seasons of Minnesota.
100hours in the summer after fourth grade it took Barry to finish Ultima IV.

Christopher Gamblée-Wallendjack
Customer Support Specialist
Christopher is a tall, friendly fellow with an affinity for professional sports teams from Cincinnati, Ohio. When he's not assisting our customers, he enjoys spending his time songwriting and late nights with his Instapaper queue.
.43hours it took Christopher to learn "Don't Stop Believin'" on the accordion.
-
Dee Zsombor
Developer
When not working Zsombor usually plays with his son, reads, rides a bike or tries his best to avoid injury while practicing with a scythe. He is Harvest's European presence.
6hours it takes Zsombor to make yellow pea soup. Delicious.
-
Doug Fales
Developer
With his hunting, fishing and general outdoorsman skillset, Doug Fales was an obvious selection to join our team. When he's not hunting Bears or performing Whitney Houston's greatest hits, Doug is cranking out Ruby on Rails code from his office overlooking Montana's Absaroka mountains, or spending time with his wife and daughter.
19hours it took Doug to build a set of giant garage shelves.
-
Jae Kim
Operations Manager
When not taking long, moonlit strolls on the beach, Jae likes to cook, eat, and hang with good people. He is fascinated by how cobblestones are laid, and says there’s no experience more transcendent than watching a fly ball.
1.11hours (after work!) it took Jae to come up with the two sentences on the left.
-
Jonathan Lane
Customer Support Specialist
Jon is the Robinson Crusoe of the team. He’s stranded out on a tiny island off Canada’s west coast (good thing he’s got an Internet connection!) He likes hanging out with his kids and propagating Canadian stereotypes.
50minutes is the minimum time it takes (by boat) to get to a city.
-
Karen Schoellkopf
Community Manager
Karen wrangles all things social, both in person and online. She also runs Harvest events, like our monthly Hobby lecture series, and organizes Walkabout NYC. She's a superfan of arts and crafts alike, and is continuing her goal of walking 5 miles a day.
73.2minutes it takes for Karen to walk five miles.
-
Kim Ku
Front-End Designer/Developer
Kim is always up for trying experimental food, screenprinting posters, spending hours at the comic book shop, or people-watching (the stranger the better).
5hours a night Kim sleeps, on average.
-
Matthew Lettini
Front-End Designer/Developer
Matthew is one of Harvest's visual designers and the resident CSS expert. When he's not Photoshopping his coworkers, he is serenading us at lunch on guitar, playing drums, or representin' on the b-ball court.
10the amount of times Matthew has seen Electric Six in concert.
-
Naama Bloom
Marketing Lead
Naama loves her kids, food, and data that tells a story. The most important lesson she learned since joining Harvest is to always put her computer to sleep when she walks away. Her preferred desktop background is a pic of her kids, not Justin Bieber or Hulk Hogan.
30seconds it takes for every mosquito in brooklyn to find Naama in the summer.
-
Patrick Filler
Front-End Developer
Patrick is a front-end coder extraordinaire, with an eye for design (and a sports team fight song for every occasion!) He is also our resident pizza expert.
57seconds it takes Patrick to eat a full slice of New York pizza.
-
Samara Strauss
User Experience
Samara was hired for her unusual obsession with keeping things organized (except for her top desk drawer), and her unique ability to think like a customer. When she's not busy thinking about clicks and layouts and flows (oh my!), she's probably talking about the Phillies, trying to convince the Harvest team to do karaoke, or giggling.
58seconds it takes Samara to eat an entire pie.
-
Sarah Haas
Account Manager
Since joining the company, Sarah's main task has been keeping Taylor Swift at the top of the team's Rdio account. This is no small feat and has received zero appreciation – only mockery. In her free time, Sarah enjoys going to bed before 10pm.
3months Sarah lived without electricity in India.
-
Scott Semple
Customer Support Specialist
In a previous life — prior to having kids and a job — Scott lived in a Honda Civic so he could climb full-time and not waste money on rent. He's since grown up (mostly) and now lives indoors with his wife and two kids in the Canadian Rockies.
161minutes across six interviews before he proved he was Harvest-worthy. (Tricked 'em!)
-
Sri Vemuri
Marketing Manager
Sri's very first memory of Harvest was him walking through our front door on a balmy summer afternoon and seeing the team watching 2010 FIFA World Cup and drinking beer (Harvest was having an open house). Feeling great vibes all around, Sri knew he had to work here.
5seconds Sri can walk on his hands.
-
T.J. Schuck
Developer
T.J. has been making websites since he was 10 years old; he acknowledges that this undeniably qualifies him as a nerd. He loves bicycles, Wikipedia, and rock-and-roll, and has never had a cavity.
9.36minutes it takes for T.J. to brush his teeth in the morning.
-
Warwick Poole
Developer / Operations
Warwick's favorite things are his son, the African wilderness, well behaved server farms and Photo-shopping bears into every picture he finds. Currently representing Harvest in West Chester, PA but prone to wander around from time to time.
91shots it took Warwick to get around the Pyongyang Golf Course in The Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
