Hey, I’m Hayden 👋

I’m a Seattle-based Software Development Engineer II at Amazon who loves turning complex, high-volume problems into fast, reliable experiences. My days revolve around designing event-driven services, mentoring teammates, and finding clever ways to make both code and customers happier.
