Jamie Hayman is a hands-on technical founder and product-minded engineering leader with 11 years of experience building scalable web and blockchain-enabled platforms from greenfield products to production-grade systems. Based in Sydney, he blends full-stack development (React/Next.js, Node/NestJS, Prisma/Postgres) with DevOps and event-driven architectures to drive measurable business growth—helping startups grow MRR from $30k to $550k and shipping a gamified Web2/Web3 product that peaked at 180k users. Comfortable switching between 60% coding and 40% strategy, he has founded and scaled teams, led engineering hiring, and reduced tech overheads to accelerate delivery. He also co-founded communities and ventures—from a grassroots hockey league to Kindled eco-stays—and runs The Code Collective, a global network of 100+ senior developers that surfaces non-obvious insights and hiring pipelines. Currently building a generative AI startup, Jamie combines analytical, data-driven decision making with a pragmatic developer’s focus on DX, tooling and smart-contract integration.
