Dustin Hyden

Software Developer
Hyden House

I'm a versatile Software Developer and UI/UX Developer with a strong track record of bringing digital products to market. Over the years, I have designed, developed, and launched dozens of high-performing websites for clients across industries like health & wellness, travel, and food & beverage. My expertise in React, Next.js, and full-stack development allows me to create custom solutions that are both scalable and user-friendly. Whether it's building a custom CMS, integrating APIs like Stripe and PayPal, or optimizing user experiences with thoughtful UI/UX design, I focus on delivering results that help businesses grow.

Beyond development, I have played a key role in the business community, sharing my knowledge and insights as a speaker at Central Ontario's premier business event, the Xcelerate Learning Series. Was contracted by the City of Barrie as the Web Development Lead for their Digital Main Street and Going Digital initiatives, consulting with over 100 businesses to improve their digital presence. My work in these programs earned me a Certificate of Recognition from the Mayor of Barrie, highlighting my impact in helping businesses modernize their operations and marketing strategies.

Collaboration is at the core of my approach. I have worked closely with designers, photographers, and videographers to create cohesive brand experiences, ensuring that every project I take on is visually compelling and strategically effective. I also mentor, conduct code reviews, and stay ahead of industry trends to continuously refine my craft. With a passion for innovation and a results-driven mindset, I thrive on turning ideas into fully functional, market-ready products.
