I’m Nick Hayden, an Australian software engineer and technology leader. Over my career I have worked across software development, cybersecurity, digital marketing, startups, consulting, and engineering management.

This site is where I document what I am learning and thinking about. I write about software engineering and technology, artificial intelligence, engineering leadership, business, learning, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Outside technology, I have trained in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for more than a decade and received my black belt in January 2024.
