Senior🎓
Top SchoolKyle Hayes is a Principal Engineer with 13+ years of professional experience and a deep background in distributed systems, industrial process control, and cloud-delivered software. Currently at AWS after leading architecture and CD/CI efforts at Oracle, he blends hands-on C/C++ and systems work with high-level software/system architecture and delivery practices. His career spans embedded and PLC programming for manufacturing, VoIP and clustered fault-tolerant systems, web and backend services, and building open source tooling—most notably contributions to libplctag, a C library for Allen-Bradley and Modbus PLC access. Comfortable from garage-built Linux clusters to enterprise SaaS pipelines, he brings practical expertise in performance tuning, protocol debugging, and open source maintenance. Outside the office he mentors an FRC robotics team and has a history of eclectic projects (he built a telescope at 12 and implemented a TCP-enabled Little Smalltalk), signaling a long-standing curiosity for low-level systems and language implementation.
