Hayden Lauritzen is a software engineer based in Seattle with a decade of hands-on experience building backend systems, databases, and data-driven features for startups and enterprise clients. A University of Washington Bothell CS and Software Engineering graduate, he has driven measurable improvements—cutting database response times by 30%, reducing program execution time by over 35%, and improving image coverage through a custom matching algorithm. He’s worked as a contingent engineer at Meta via Affirma and has taken ownership of database administration, performance tuning, and security planning at IronChopsticks. Comfortable moving between production optimization, ML-assisted feature work, and technical documentation, he combines pragmatic engineering with an eye for system reliability. Colleagues describe him as someone who improves both code and operational hygiene, often turning slow systems into responsive services.
