Welcome to my site
Hi my name is Hayden and I am a software developer that graduated a Bachelor’s Degree in Information Technology(Software Development) from the University of South Australia in 2016. Starting from a young age I have always enjoyed computing from trying to create websites on Adobe Dreamweaver at the age of 11 and even playing around with flash(yuk!) back in the late 2000’s. Throughout my years at University I would often find myself doing small projects here and there as I wanted to learn as much about software development as I could. I am a huge fan of how the internet is able to provide free and accessible information and have taken advantage of this by using this to learn server side programming languages such as php and mysql.
My Work
Xeppo
I started at Xeppo August 2018 and am currently working there. Xeppo is a product for the finance industry and it’s features are built around aggregation of data that is collected from sources that are commonly used by the industry. Here I work with a team of 7 to continually improve the product and myself as a software developer.
Safe Ag Systems
From June 2017 to August 2018 I was working at Safe Ag Systems which is a software development company. Here I worked in a team that was building a new version of an existing safety system.
The software is designed to keep the agriculture industry safe. I am super lucky as I get to work on the full development stack using technologies such as .Net and Xamarin. Safe Ag Systems is my first go at software development with a team.

Child Care Services Australia
Previously I worked at Child Care Services Australia where I started out by just entering data. But as I learned more about software development I started to take on a role of the “IT guy”. I made the suggestion that an app would be a pretty cool thing to have. This was probably one of the best/hardest learning experiences I have had. I was in my final year of uni and really diving into the deep end by developing 10 native apps (1 iOs and 1 Android For each child care centre) each with its own content management system. I was then I truly understood the value of git repositories :-S. Also I maintained an updated their websites which were powered by WordPress.
More about me
Did you notice the background pictures have changed? I have pretty much added this section just so that my parallax scrolling would work… I mean you have scrolled this far surely you want to know more about Hayden? Right? Anyway I am going to reward you for doing so well hehe.
I Love sports mainly basketball, AFL and martial arts. Basically if their is some form of scoring involved I am probably keen on it. If you like sports email me. Currently I play basketball in a social league which my team is in our first season. I used to practice Mauy Thai which I did for about 5 or so years I even competed 2 times as well which is an absolute adrenaline rush. Also as a kid I played footy for the mighty Salisbury North Hawks where we won multiple premierships because of me haha! Not really. Other than sports I like to go on stack overflow and try to answer questions mainly with the JavaScript tag.
