Meet the Team Behind Typing Agent

Typing Agent started in a classroom, not a boardroom. Our founder, Kris Peterson spent over 30 years teaching technology in Washington schools and built the first version of Typing Agent because nothing on the market did what his students needed.

That origin still shapes how we work. The Typing Agent team includes former classroom teachers, curriculum specialists with graduate degrees in education, software engineers, animators, and customer success staff who have supported district rollouts from a few classrooms to tens of thousands of students. Our curriculum team writes to ISTE, Common Core State Standards, Computer Science Teachers Association standards, TEKS, Florida BEST, and other state, and local standards because they’ve had to justify a curriculum purchase themselves.

We’ve operated independently under the same leadership for over 20 years, and over 96% of our schools renew annually. When you call support, you reach someone who knows the product. When you request a feature, it goes to the people who build it.
