Meet some of the team
Bruce Aylward
Chief Everything Officer
I’m the founder and Chief Everything Officer of Psoda, so this is all my fault.
I started working as a rocket scientist in the South African Space Program, where I programmed the rockets that launched satellites into low earth orbit.
When the space program was disbanded I worked for multinationals and start-ups in a variety of roles and locations – from solutions architect to project and program manager in countries as diverse as Israel and the UK.
All of this experience culminated in me founding Psoda in 2006 when I emigrated with my family from the UK to New Zealand.

Rhona Aylward
Deputy Everything Officer
I’m the Deputy Everything Officer of Psoda, my job is really diverse and covers everything from finance to marketing. Basically if it needs doing and it’s not coding then it falls to me and my team.
A little known fact is that I started my working life as a microbiologist in a distillery in Scotland, which is still up there as one of my favourite jobs.
Outside work I spend my time running after a very active boy who likes nothing more than getting into mischief.

Chelsea Campbell
V-Caffeinated Lead Developer
Hi, I’m Chelsea and I am the lead developer here at Psoda.
I create report templates for our users. When I’m not working on report templates, I get to work on other top-secret development projects that help make Psoda better for our users.
As you can see my name is 'V-Caffeinated Developer' as I don’t drink coffee, but I must confess that I do indulge in the odd V energy drink when needed.
Outside of work I enjoy relaxing and catching up with family and friends and playing softball in the summer.

Will Donaldson
Dynamic Lead Designer
Kia ora I’m Will the lead designer at Psoda, and I get to do all the fun stuff around here!
I have the awesome job of making our Psoda application look beautiful for our users as well as working on creative videos and writing lots of lines of code. Whether it’s designing a new interface for a new feature, knuckling into some code, creating visual graphics, or coming up with a new video, my job is never repetitive.
Outside of work, I am a sports lover and wannabe engineer. I play cricket in the summer and am officially retired from rugby and indoor netball. The rest of my time is spent trying to build fun things from in my garage or on my computer.

Lachlan Reynolds
Long Distance Developer
Hey, I’m Lachlan and I’m a developer here at Psoda.
I spend my time at Psoda developing cool new features and occasionally working on report templates for our customers.
A fun fact about me is that I’m originally from a small little town on the West Coast called Hokitika, but moved to Christchurch (where I’m currently living) to study computer science.
In my free time, I like to skateboard, play video games, watch sports with friends, and waste money on takeout.

Mike Kennedy
Chef de Veloper
Hi, I’m Mike and I am a developer here at Psoda.
I spend my days working on exciting new features for Psoda and creating report templates for our users.
'Chef de Veloper' is a play on the fifteen years I spent as a chef at home here in New Zealand and abroad in places such as London, Spain and the snowy Alps in France.
When I’m not busy developing, you’ll find me busy with my family, sampling local coffee, watching absolutely anything sports related or creating something from the garden for dinner!

Brayden Dawson
Frost-byte Developer
Hi, I'm Brayden, and I am a developer here at Psoda. I spend most of my days adding exciting new features to Psoda and its many applications.
'Frost-byte Developer' is a play on my previous career as a refrigeration engineer, where I then transitioned into my long term passion for tech which has led me to this very spot.
In my spare time, you will likely find me zooming down a snow-covered mountain in the winter, fishing in the summer, or painting my miniature models.
