C++

C++ is a compiled systems language that gives direct control over memory and performance, which is why it tends to sit close to hardware.

I learned C++ by working directly in an existing production desktop application at AarogyalinQ, which drove an intraoral camera and ran a detection model on its feed.

I used it to add cloud capability to that application: uploading captured video to AWS S3 and publishing a live stream through AWS IVS from inside the C++ application itself.

Reading an unfamiliar native codebase carefully first is faster than trying to change it early.

Adding network and cloud calls to a native application makes error handling and failure states much more important.
