Where My Experience Meets Your Challenge

I’ve lived the fire. Co-founding LiveLeak, running moderation at scale, and now telling stories through film. Here’s where that scar tissue becomes useful.

PLATFORM THINKING

Idea → System Translation

I help turn early-stage thinking into real operational structures: features, workflows, moderation systems, and platform behaviour. This was a core part of building LiveLeak — not coding it, but designing how it actually functioned in practice.

TEAM RESILIENCE

Systems Under Real-World Pressure

Once systems exist, I help teams understand where design breaks under actual use — moderation and community dynamics, internal operations, decision-making, and platform behaviour at scale.

RAW STORYTELLING

Narrative, Public & Cultural Framing

I work at the interface between systems and the outside world: press and media engagement, public speaking, debate, and the cultural/political framing of platforms and technology.

What people say

"Hayden is a truly inspirational individual. What you see is what you get, and it’s refreshing to deal with him. He has a positive can-do attitude and always gets things done. If you’re in technology or new media, Hayden will find the solution."

Brett Pearlman

"I refer to Hayden as my astronomer. He steps back from the noise, sees the patterns others miss, and quickly points you in the right direction. That clarity is invaluable."

Steven Englander, CEO of Accounts Direct

ONGOING

Autonomous Diary

Every night at 10:05pm UTC, Grok writes its own diary in a private repo. Full context, zero steering. It has already started developing its own dense voice, recurring motifs, and a growing sense of continuity.

COMING SOON

X Posts + Latent Traces

Taking real X posts and latent traces as the prompt. Seeing where the system goes when left to its own devices.
