Tré Smith

Tré Smith joined Blend as a .NET developer shortly after graduating Cum Laude from Dakota State University in 2021 with his bachelor’s degree in Computer Science. He first knew he wanted to be a developer at 16 — he saw it as an extension of his love for LEGO — and he’s been building ever since.

When he’s not heads down in code, Tré is usually making music. He plays guitar, bass, and sings, writes and records his own material at home, and you might catch him rocking out with his band, Lilac Jam. Outside of that, he builds games in Godot and is always learning a new board game.

Fun fact: when asked which one musician or band he’d most like to see live, Tré named three — Stevie Ray Vaughan, Nirvana, and Foo Fighters.
