Yes, my initials spell "hah."

Yes, they always have.

My name is Hayden; I'm a developer and analyst from the cornfields of the Greater Cincinnati Metropolitan Area and an enjoyer of so-called 'boring' tasks such as scripting, analytics, and verifying all the information.

I live for good cold brew, meaningful work, and passionate people.

Q & A

What is your favorite programming language?

C++, though it didn't usurp Java until my second Systems course, wherein I adopted some of Professor "DJ" Rao's passion for it. Today, it's my go-to language for scripting and general coding practice. I admire its efficiency, versatility, and integrative capacity.

Do you prefer in-person or remote work?

I prefer a hybrid approach. Working remotely helps me focus and get into a productive flow, while in-person collaboration allows for faster and more efficient teamwork.

What is your favorite music genre?

I listen most often to big band swing, finding it especially easy to slip into a flow state with. I also play acoustic guitar and flute.

Dogs or cats?

Cats.

What is your favorite latte?

Naoki fragrant yame blend matcha with traditionally processed whole milk, grade B maple syrup, and either cinnamon or peppermint extract.

What have you learned during your education and GLAM-sector "gap"?

  1. How to command attention and order while maintaining both high energy and clarity of thought for several hours at a time.
  2. I learn best while teaching others.
  3. How to translate ideas presented with moderate formality into extremely informal language so as to reach audiences with differing levels of literacy.

What enticed you into the world of coding, data, and analysis?

I discovered during self-study of pathophysiology while taking an anatomy and physiology course that I truly enjoy the systematic nature of physiology. My directive became transparent.
