Callum Hays is a software engineer and mechatronics-trained computer scientist with a decade of hands-on experience building embedded and cloud-connected systems, currently contributing to SEEK in Melbourne. He combines practical robotics and control-systems expertise with machine learning and AI pragmatism, having led software delivery for multiple prototype deployments at LYRO Robotics. Callum is comfortable across the stack—from embedded C and hardware integration to backend services and CI/CD—and has contributed to open-source numerical tooling for constrained devices (micropython-ulab), improving floating-point support and array operations. He brings a track record of translating research-grade ML and computer vision work into deployable prototypes for commercial partners. Known for pragmatic problem-solving, he blends rapid prototyping speed with attention to production reliability.

a numpy-like fast vector module for micropython, circuitpython, and their derivatives
Role in this project:
Back-end Developer
Contributions:5 reviews, 6 commits, 5 PRs in 1 month
Contributions summary:Callum primarily contributed to the `micropython-ulab` project, focusing on improving the numerical capabilities of the library. They fixed a compiler issue related to floating-point numbers, added a stub for `dtype`, and refactored the code using the `MICROPY_FLOAT_CONST` macro. The user also replaced the array constructor and implemented the `np.isinf` function to extend the existing functionality of the library.
