School relationships

After a double training in EISTI (Major in Data Science) and Dauphine (Artificial Intelligence), some friends in advertising recommended Aubay to me. Having just graduated, I was contacted by one of Aubay’s banking sector units. During the interview, I expressed a wish to work in “data”, an area that’s expanding really fast. Almost as soon as I was appointed, Aubay offered me the Teradata training. After being trained, I integrated an applicative decision project in a leading French banking group. I greatly enjoyed the task and working with the very user-friendly team. I had the change to be trained both by the project team and by the business team.

I’m currently working on a task with a high-tech client that is developing connected items. The group is developing a head unit for McLaren. The product is at the centre of the car’s multimedia system. It also provides access to functions such as heating and air conditioning, etc. To sum up, if we’re not interested in what we are doing, it’s everything on board the car that crashes! I started in February 2014 in the R&D unit, and since then I’ve been learning every day. The technology is constantly progressing. I’m working on development of embedded software linked to the vehicle: diagnostics, product machine status, and communication with the multimedia interface (Android). It may sound a bit primitive put this way, but it’s essential in getting the car to work properly. I’ve gained hugely in self-confidence. Working with Aubay is an opportunity to work on projects like this and encounter a whole range of different technologies. At present, with the increase in the number of connected items, smartphones and drones, it’s becoming more and more important to keep up with new technologies. The sector is rising from the ashes after being largely ignored by engineers. Now is the time to join us; a host of opportunities is waiting for you !

I’ve been working in Aubay’s finance unit since 2013 and I’m involved with one of our major banking clients, in its investment bank section. I work as an assistant project manager on the management platform for contracts concluded by traders when they do their biggest trades. In other words, my work involves transferring the traders’ needs to the technical teams, and vice versa. The responsibility is huge given the size of the sums processed! The functional part is particularly interesting to me as we’re always increasing our knowledge and mastery of financial products, which are sometimes very complex, believe me. Finance is a really demanding and challenging environment and I want to continue in that environment. If I had to give some advice for those working in the Aubay Group and in finance more specifically, it’s: be curious! The desire to learn is essential as the world of finance is always changing, you need to have a passion for it.

Thanks to my training in image processing, I’ve worked on a navigation solution, or to put it more accurately, one that recognises hand movements on a web site when a camera detects them. I’ve been able to develop my knowledge of JavaScript and Open GL. Aubay entrusts us with real training material, shows confidence in us and helps us to train in new technologies! And then there’s the help-sharing with other trainees and the good atmosphere (it feels like a table football tournament), which helps to develop in a positive atmosphere. I’m very excited to start with my first task with Aubay’s top banking client.
