Become a C++ engineer

Q: How did you become a C++ engineer?

Fanny: After the BAC, I went to the University of Nice-Sophia Antipolis, specialty math-chemistry. That’s where I discovered programming and it interested me a lot; so, after 6 months, I went on a computer license. Following these 2 years, I continued my training at Polytech Nice-Sophia, which offered a curriculum in computer science. For 1.5 years, I took “generalist” courses, before choosing the specialty vision, image and multimedia. I did my last year working at the same time in a company producing 3D software for image processing, architecture and so on. Then, a few months after graduation, I joined AViSTO.

Job description

Q: Can you please describe your job?

Fanny: My first two years at AViSTO, I developed a lot in C ++ with the Qt framework. Qt is an object-oriented API that offers everything you need. I used it to create graphical interfaces. In my project, I was quite free: our client presented us his need, we then made proposals. I realized the interfaces from icons or images found on the Internet; in general, I like “tinkering” in Photoshop. There is an artistic side in the graphical interface, that’s what I like a lot.
And since about a year, I work on elements around the graphical interface, especially in the network domain.
