Blake Larson

Software Engineer

I build modern digital experiences backed by robust engineering systems.

About

My passion lies in creating modern, inspiring interfaces backed by thoughtfully engineered systems that empower developers to work efficiently and confidently.

Currently, I spend most of my time working on the frontend for ABCmouse and other Age of Learning products. I've also had the privilege of building software for an agency that trains developers, and clients that run small businesses. I love to learn and am always looking for new opportunities to grow as a developer.

When I'm not at the computer, I'm usually doing something outside like hiking, playing disc golf, or camping. I also spend my time hanging out with my wife and dog, woodworking, baking bread, singing, or playing a new video game.
