Summary
Wayne Hayden is a software engineer with nine years of hands-on experience building reliable networking and security products, currently at Cisco after contributing to Check Point's dynamic routing daemon. He writes low-level kernel modules, routing protocol logic, and user-facing CLI, HTML GUI, and REST APIs—bridging systems programming with developer and operator ergonomics. At Check Point he shipped features and stability fixes for a codebase with three decades of history, proving he can navigate and improve large, legacy systems. A 2022 CSUMB computer science graduate, Wayne has been programming since 2014 and has broadened his toolkit into full‑stack app development and machine learning. Based in Mountain View, he combines production-grade networking expertise with a taste for clean, reusable code and pragmatic feature delivery. An understated strength is his fluency across kernel, daemon, and UI layers, enabling end-to-end ownership of complex features.
