David Qiu is a Canadian industry leader and software designer who believes in building technology that makes life easier for people. He started Hayle as a social app to help people feel less alone—and over time, that mission grew into something bigger. What began as a way to connect friends turned into a company that helps builders, fabricators, and tradespeople run their businesses better. With a background rooted in both construction and tech, David reimagined Hayle as a software agency creating tools that solve real-world problems.

Today, his focus is on crafting industry-first platforms like StoneForge—a system designed to make life simpler for stone fabricators managing quotes, inventory, and projects. It’s more than software. It’s about giving family-run shops and small teams the freedom to focus on their craft, not the paperwork. Under David’s leadership, Hayle continues to grow, creating software for the construction industry, empowering businesses with simple, powerful solutions. Because in the end, it's not about the code. It’s about the people it helps.
