About Me

Hayden

I'm a Software Developer currently working in Web Development.

I am passionate about beautiful yet minimalistic websites, increasing server performance, developer workflows, problem solving and Linux. Most importantly, I love to learn!

This site is meant to be my little corner of the internet, I update it from time to time. I recently started to blog about computer science topics, books and software/hardware.
