Small Team,
Big Impact
Creating educational software that users are fanatical about
We’re a small team that has a big impact on the over 75M students and 850k educators using our products. You'd think killer domain names are our secret sauce, but we know that the first product is our team. We seek to cultivate self-managed teams that constantly ship. We succeed together, never stop improving, and infuse every action with empathy.

I founded Teaching.com with the simple goal of helping kids learn proper touch typing skills. I never expected we would end up helping so many students and teachers around the world. We might not be able to call ourselves a start-up anymore, but we still foster the same excitement and drive to change the future of education.
Travis Butler

It’s really cool to be able to say “I love what I do!“, but it’s even cooler knowing that every day I’m helping countless teachers and children. Along with a really great team, my day to day is building the absolute best in educational technology. In my free time, I’m heavily involved with musical education, especially composition. Living in the Colorado Rockies, I spend my weekends in the mountains rock climbing and hiking with my absurdly cute puppy named Nitro.

I taught myself how to make websites in middle school and “became a designer” while making custom MySpace templates for my friends and websites for my Starcraft clan. I live in Houston with my wife and son, though I’ll never stop thirsting for the mountains of the Pacific Northwest.

At the dawn of high school a little game called Red Alert was released and, as I’ve come to realize, was the spark that ignited my joy, creative passions and drive for coding. It’s been many years since I wrote my first line of code - languages, libraries and IDEs have come and gone - but the joy I experience now is the same I felt when I saw those infamous words for the first time over a decade ago: “Hello World”
Julian Rosado

I love flexing my creative thinking and designing experiences that reflect our users: smart, effective, and human. I also specialize in consuming coffee or coffee related foodstuffs. My family and I live in the beautiful Hudson Valley region of New York and you’ll never convince me to move.
Colin Spence

I am passionate about design and the way it affects people's everyday lives. Ever since I've had the incredible opportunity to witness the massive impact that design can have through developing learning resources with my wife who teaches students with autism, I have been completely hooked. When I'm not designing, you can find me biking through the river valley in Edmonton, Alberta, perfecting my home brew recipes, or dancing in the living room with my daughter.

With Midwestern roots and an entrepreneurial spirit, I bring a diverse background in accounting and finance for high-growth, scaling businesses. I have a technical skill set, but my passion lies in communicating the story. Contributing to, and constructing, ridiculously productive and passionate teams is insatiably motivating for me. I'm a baseball addict, family man, and education fanatic that enjoys weekends of landscaping and cooking Texas BBQ.

I've worn the Linux Admin/System Admin/DevOps hats for about seven years now, but my love for computers goes far back into my childhood. I took a self-directed and self-educated hobby and turned it into a career, and I'm proud to be working for a company that champions these ideals. When I'm not automating my own job away, I can be found homebrewing beer, cooking, playing guitar, or being chased around the house by my two kids.

I studied literature and creative writing which made me a good conversationalist and someone who loves hearing people’s stories. An advertising copywriter most of my life, my job all but disappeared from the local market during the economic downturn of the last ten years and the time came to find something with a more satisfying plot line. I’m now enjoying working with a company that has a vision beyond making money and does something that actually matters. In addition, my current clients (teachers) have much better grammar. I live more or less happily in Puerto Rico with my boyfriend and six cats. I’m the only one who can spell.

After graduating from university, I found my home in the education industry. I absolutely love the passion and enthusiasm that every person in this industry has. Whether it’s a teacher, an administrator, or a vendor - we’re all here to make a difference to students. I currently live in Portugal with my husband, son, and two dogs - and spend most of my free time, hiking, discovering new restaurants, and planning elaborate beach picnics.

Bárbara Santiago Román
I studied Business Management and Finance at the University of Puerto Rico and worked in London for four years after graduation. Although I loved living in the UK, I missed my beautiful island, Puerto Rico. Since I moved back, I’ve worked for executives in multiple companies. I’ve always dreamed of owning my own company someday, so being close to business leaders is the perfect learning opportunity. When I’m not at work, I love everything that has to do with street fashion. I can make my own clothes and maybe, one day, I’ll have my own boutique! I love traveling, cooking and taking my boxer, Nugget, wherever I can take her.

I moved from Ecuador to NYC at the age of 18 and quickly became a valued member of one of the largest catering companies in Manhattan while putting myself through college. Upon graduation, I secured a spot at a rapidly expanding healthcare company. Fast forward to 2016 I was ready to leave my position in favor of getting married and moving to Puerto Rico to enjoy a life of sun, sand, surf and working from home in the fields of Digital Marketing and Customer Service.

I have been working in education for over a decade as an educator, program manager, and game-based curriculum and assessment designer. My passion is working with amazing teams to make learning experiences as engaging and fun as we all know they can be for students and teachers alike. My fiance and I live in Los Angeles where we love exploring this crazy city, eating great food and drinking great wine, and convincing our friends to play obscure board games with us.

I have been programming for the last 38 years starting with a math game for my baby brother. Being part of the Teaching.com family and encouraging education feels like coming full circle. When I am not coding you can find me on stage at the local community theater, playing D&D, out camping or more than likely playing Nitro Type.
Kristen Smith

I was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. After studying Communications in college, I started a career in Yellow Pages Print Advertising. As the industry became obsolete, I left to join a small start-up called Teaching.com. I spent years helping teachers and students in Customer Service. Then, I put my career on hold to become a stay at home mom. Fast forward four years and I’m back! I’m grateful to be part of the Teaching.com team once again. When I am not working, you can find me in the gym or on the beach with my family.
Adam Saladino

I've been creating software since high school and it is a lot of fun. The best part is finding creative, simple solutions to difficult problems that make a difference in a person's life. I love spending my free time going on adventures with my wife and kids.
Rebeca Ramos
Rebeca Ramos
Born and raised in Bayamón, Puerto Rico. I studied Accounting at the University of Puerto Rico at Bayamón and became a CPA in 2013. I worked in Public Accounting for five years. I live with my husband, two children and a Schnauzer. When I'm not working, I love to spend quality time with my family, discover new restaurants and plan family trips.
Nitro
Nitro
Nitro is a Golden Retriever -- he’s our “virtual office” dog and the Nitro Type mascot. While he can’t exactly play Nitro Type, he has an honorary “Golden” Membership and lives up to his name by sprinting around as fast as he can! A native of Colorado, he lives with Travis and loves hiking and exploring the outdoors. His hobbies include playing with new toys and being a rawhide connoisseur!
