Aston Motes, Assorted Bits
Aston Motes was the first hire at Dropbox, where over the last four and a half years he has worked on a wide variety of products, from the Dropbox.com website to the Teams small business product to the API thousands of 3rd-party developers use today. Previous to Dropbox, he enjoyed a short stint at OkCupid where he was an early employee and one of the primary engineers on CrazyBlindDate.com, a website that did exactly what its name suggests. Aston has a BS in Computer Science from MIT (class of 2007) which heretofore he’s mostly used to impress people at house parties with his knowledge of the difference between a Tree and a Trie. Having recently left Dropbox, he’s now founding a startup of his own.
