Adam Ceresko

Being raised in an entrepreneurial family, it was in my nature to one day start my own company. Little did I know it would be during my graduating semester in college when I co-founded APPEK, a mobile development company. Now I spend everyday innovating and developing new products.

Aside from APPEK, I am an avid golfer, passionate sports fan, video game entusiast, electronic music junkie, and I make it to the gym enough. I have a very strong relationship with my family, and without them, none of this would be possible.

Nick Heckman

Nick Heckman began programming at a young age, making independent video games for the PC. Later in life this took him to sunny Orlando, Florida where he attended Full Sail University to hone his craft, and has since started releasing more games for the XBox, PC, and mobile markets.

Now he lends his expertise to APPEK, using his knowledge of video games to create fun and exciting mobile apps. In the meantime he continues to create amazingly fun games and has been sharpening his programming edge to lend to the company when they need something engaging.

Andrew Herman

Andrew grew up as the youngest of his seven siblings, learning at an early age that Nintendo and electronic typewriters were his only advantages against the cruel world of football, motorcycles, lipstick and (non-cellular) telephones in which his elder siblings lived.

Caccooning himself in Windows 95, TI-86 calculators, and 56K modems, Andrew emerged as a part-time technologist and full-time rock star shortly after meeting his Co-Founder, Adam Ceresko, in August of 2008 at Penn State. Andrew has a love affair with interface design, and hopes to shift the traditional paradigms of how users interact with their computers.

Preston Propert

Preston graduated from Broome Community College with an AS in Computer Science in 2007, and later attended Penn State and graduated with distinction, in 2011. Other than programming, Preston has many hobbies (volleyball, fishing, camping, hiking, movies). He is sometimes referred to Prest-Bot 4000 when he plays cards with his friends. Preston only plays video games long enough to become enraged by the lack of depth or content. Preston is generally hard to talk to since he doesn't know who actors, actresses, musicians and others involved in entertainment. He does not apologize for this.

He spends the majority of his off time funding the lavish life style of the Scranton bar owners, or helping a friend operate a sound and lighting company.

Jeff Farkas

Jeff was rescued by APPEK from the dirty slums of technical support in Spring of 2011. He enjoys designing how each piece of the puzzle fit together to create a great product. He might not work from the APPEK office, but he does maintain constant contact with his fellow developers.

Jeff can often be seen rockin’ the fro, drinking his 8th cup of coffee (or Mountain Dew), or enjoying the newest product from Taco Bell. In his spare time, he enjoys playing Ultimate Frisbee and getting lost in the woods. Jeff strives to be a master of all trades, filling in the gap wherever necessary.

Salil Malkan

Salil Malkan joined APPEK in the Spring of 2011 after giving up on his dream of becoming a professional wrestler. In between he also tried being a rock star, astronaut, professional dancer, and NBA basketball player. Each one of these careers was going great until he got bored with them. For now, he's happy developing and designing kind of sort of bad ass mobile applications for APPEK. His hobbies include being pretentious about the music he listens to, knowing the most about basketball, and playing but not finishing Zelda games.

Salil Malkan is also consistently the worst dressed in the office.

Tom Sennett

Tom Sennett joined APPEK the summer after he graduated from Penn State in 2011, and now serves as the company's in-house designer/artist. With a background in game and web development, his approach is pointedly user-focused and aesthetically attuned.

While efficiency and simplicity of the user experience is his first priority, Tom has been known to give apps "punch", make apps "pop", and/or help create apps that "look totally sweet".

Scott Marchington

After having worked as a web developer for what seemed like an eternity, Scott started working for APPEK in December of 2011. Scott enjoys all aspects of the mobile application development process, except for testing. When not at work, Scott enjoys local music, mountain biking, playing Magic: The Gathering competitively, and arguing for the sake of arguing (especially about things that have no real world implications).

Scott believes no software development company is complete without a solid beard.

Jon Bieler

As an intern, Jon is primarily the master of all trades. By master, we mean man in training. He covers all aspects of the company; from sales calls to QA testing to playing “PIG,” he does it all. As a senior Business Administration-Management major at Marywood University, he is seen in the office expanding his knowledge in the technology field. When he is not mastering the art of Beer Friday, he can be found enjoying a game of soccer, football, lacrosse, or other sports, playing a game of FIFA, or doing what college kids do best- party and sleep.
