Hi! I'm Benny Hernandez, a theater student from California specializing in lighting design. I also have a strong interest in stage automation, show networking, and mechatronics¹. My lighting design experience includes productions with California Repertory Company, Sierra College, Miss Sacramento County, Rocklin Community Theater, and more. I also work as a stagehand with IATSE Local 50 and as a theater technician at Sierra College and Roseville High School.

As of March 2026, I am attending CSU Long Beach, where I am continuing my studies in technical theater. Before transferring, I attended Sierra College and earned AA degrees in theater and mechatronics.

Beyond the stage, I enjoy working on electronics, coding projects, and CAD-based design. I am passionate about merging theater with technology, and many of my side projects explore the creative possibilities between the two.
