Ilyes Hasnaou
Backend-focused Software Engineer specializing in distributed systems, concurrent processing, and production-grade applications.
Who I am
Software Engineering graduate from Carleton University (2024), transitioning to a Master of Engineering in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo (Co-op).
Industry experience across Bell Canada, Labeeb IoT, and freelance work, building and supporting production systems with real-world constraints, fault handling, and deployment ownership.
Key projects include reactive and distributed systems (Play, Apache Pekko, UDP), real-time pipelines, and end-to-end applications with CI/CD and cloud infrastructure.
Technical stack: Java, Python, Go, Spring Boot, REST APIs, PostgreSQL, AWS, Azure, and Linux. Additional exposure to machine learning systems using PyTorch and OpenCV.
Projects
