Mary Patrick
Product Manager, MP & Gather
Mary came to ACST shortly after graduating from college. She wasn’t looking for a career in church software (who is?), but simply needed a job. Thirteen years later, she is still at ACST. Through listening to thousands of churches, she discovered her passion for helping faith-based organizations leverage technology to make a kingdom impact. She has worn a variety of hats since she started at ACST. Today, she is the Product Manager for MinistryPlatform
Tyndall Wakeham
Enterprise Mobile Architect / Mobile Product Manager
As Enterprise Mobile Architect / Mobile Product Manager, Tyndall Wakeham leads the mobile portfolio across PocketPlatform, Realm, Growth Method, and Vanco. Tyndall has spent the last 21 years helping hundreds of churches build technology that drives real Kingdom impact — and has been active in ministry for more than three decades, serving on staff, as an elder, and now bi-vocationally as an ordained pastor at his church in Houston. (Tyndall is one of the few people you'll meet who can marry, bury, and write code.) All of this to say Tyndall has a real soft spot for church staff: you got into this to do ministry, not necessarily to be a database admin. Tyndall considers it his job to build the kind of tools that hand your ministry back to you.
