About me

I’m Erick Hernandez Najera, a fourth-year computer science student at Gonzaga, graduating in May 2027. I co-founded GET Logistics LLC and build software around the freight work I do.

My path to software

I’m originally from Denver, Colorado, and come from a first-generation immigrant family. I entered Gonzaga as a mechanical engineering student before switching to computer science. I wanted to build and ship software myself.

My family’s trucking business gives me problems to work on directly: tracking trailers, coordinating loads, and keeping information usable across a team. I built TrailerTrack with role-based views and Google Sheets to Firestore ingestion. It was used in daily production operations and is currently paused.

For GET Logistics, I built an outreach platform handling 500+ automated emails per day, reducing manual outreach effort by an estimated 80%. During my controls engineering internship at Jubilant HollisterStier, I also prototyped SCADA interfaces and built a maintenance agent over existing job aids.

Outside software, I founded GU Car Club at Gonzaga, work on my 2011 Subaru WRX, and participate in GU ACM. I also explore AI modeling independently.
