My name is Moises Herrera.
I design websites, build software,
do community-based research,
and think of innovative solutions
to complex problems. I LOVE what
I do so I work hard to do it well.
I am a full-stack software developer, designer, community-based researcher, art enthusiast, sustainability advocate and engaged citizen.
I am passionate about using my skill-set to create technological solutions to complex problems.
My specialty is in creating applications and websites that help individuals engage more fruitfully within their communities. I aim to help expand the local networks of individuals, to improve the rates of offline communication and interaction in society, to change the way information and news is distributed within society, and to help local economies grow.
The tools that I create are based on human-centered research and design. I hope to continue to solve difficult and unseen challenges through human-centered design and hands-on communication with clients, organizations and individuals.
Great projects begin with ...
creativity,
empathy,
curiousity,
adventure.
