Steve Hayman

Steve Hayman is a National Consulting Engineer with Apple's Application Development Team, based in Toronto, Canada.  He's been at Apple for 29 years and got his start doing object-oriented development when working for NeXT, a company Apple acquired in 1996.  He still finds it amazing that those tools and systems from NeXT have turned into Xcode and that he can now write apps that run on his watch. Prior to NeXT, Steve was a network administrator for Indiana University and the University of Waterloo, where he obtained both a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Math, which he now concedes is way more math than you actually need to know.  He founded and, for 22 years, led Argonotes, the Toronto Argonauts Band, which he thinks is possibly the finest band in the Canadian Football League.
