# Can İlgu — Senior Full Stack & Systems Engineer

> Senior Systems & Full Stack Engineer with 6+ years of experience architecting distributed logistics pipelines, Kubernetes multi-pod microservices, and safety-critical automotive embedded software. Published open-source author of `fastapi-observer` on PyPI. Based in Kyrenia, Cyprus (UTC+3); open to remote global contracts and EU/UK relocation.

## Flagship Systems & Architecture

- [fastapi-observer](https://pypi.org/project/fastapi-observer/): High-performance, production-ready observability and metrics collection middleware for FastAPI applications. Published on PyPI.
- [ARQH Swiss Logistics Engine](https://canilgu.dev/#systems): Distributed real-time logistics infrastructure handling thousands of daily freight movements. Implements CQRS (Command Query Responsibility Segregation), Redis Pub/Sub low-latency event buses (<10ms UI sync), and Kubernetes multi-pod horizontal pod autoscaling.
- [Günsel Electric Vehicles Driver Information Cluster](https://canilgu.dev/#systems): Safety-critical in-vehicle digital instrument cluster (DIC) engineered in C++ / Qt / QML, compliant with AUTOSAR frameworks and MISRA C++ automotive standards within a deterministic sub-16ms frame budget.
- [CARLA Autonomous Driving Deep Learning Perception](https://canilgu.dev/#systems): MTech thesis research developing end-to-end multi-camera deep neural perception models evaluated under extreme weather conditions in CARLA Simulator.
