Howdy!

I'm Blake Herrera. a programmer. a Longhorn. a leader. a voice actor. a video editor. a winner.

Howdy!

I'm Blake Herrera - nice to meet you.

Born and raised in Austin, Texas, I'm currently a senior attending the University of Texas at Austin, majoring in Computer Science (graduating May 2024).

I have had the pleasure of working twice at Facebook (Meta) as a software engineering intern, and I also have a year of full-time work experience as a contract React.js developer for ScanData Systems (now Transplace, an Uber Freight subsidiary.)

Recently, I've also worked for the UT Austin Japanese Department as an Undergraduate Assistant creating HTML5-based games for Japanese language learning (check out my latest one here!).

I've always loved being a leader in my community. Having been class/student council president every year from the fourth grade all the way on up to my early high school graduation, I've learned a great deal about what makes a great team and how to get the most out of people. Serving as the two-time president of the Round Rock Independent School District Student Advisory Board (RRISD SAB) in 2017 and 2019, I've also been able to learn a great deal from others above me - working directly alongside Superintendent Dr. Steve Flores to shape policy across the school district.

Life is good. Hook 'em Horns, and God bless Texas!
