Arthur Laurent is a C/C++ software engineer with nine years of experience building and modernizing backend systems, currently developing at SuperSonic Imagine. He has migrated legacy C++98 code to modern C++17 at Orange Business Services and prototyped cross-platform drivers and FUSE-based porting at Airbus Helicopters, showing a pragmatic focus on portability and systems-level code. Active in open source, he contributes to the xmake build system and its official package repo, enhancing C++20/23 module support and package definitions that improve developer workflows across compilers and Linux distros. Comfortable with embedded and Qt environments, he pairs low-level C/C++ expertise with scripting in Python to deliver working prototypes and tooling. Based in Rognac, France, he combines formal DUT/ongoing Master's studies with hands-on engineering, bringing both academic grounding and practical delivery to complex software projects.
