Hello! I'm Devin Hayes. I'm a programmer, sysadmin, reluctant designer, inventor, technology strategist, trends analyst, digital media consultant and social media crackerjack. »
I'm an insatiable analyst and consequent info junkie (INTJ). My favorite topics are: technology, ecology, economics and politics. I'm obsessed with understanding and solving problems. »
On the tech side, I focus and excel in application and database architecture, application and server security, optimization and scalability. Everything must be fast and secure. »
In my spare time, I'm an avid nature lover who enjoys camping, hiking, fishing and spending time on the river or beach. I also have a penchant for photography. »
Recent work:
More projects: NIC, Inc, Social Knowledge, TerraWi, Arctic Island, Mixsmith, Freempt
Recommendations:
Devin is a rare find, a technologist that 'gets' business. He's a strategist that is equally comfortable rapidly prototyping web sites and applications or developing scalable systems. He operates without ego and understands that, in business, every day, you have to go out and earn your way. He is a hands-on, do-what-it-takes player and doesn't complain about the effort or sacrifice. It was a pleasure to work with Devin and I was sorry to see him go. I would undoubtedly and enthusiastically work with him again and recommend him to anyone considering working with him.
