CNAM Engineering Internship Report

This repository contains my activity report (Rapport d'activités) for my CNAM engineering internship at Affluences, completed during the 2025-2026 academic year.

About

This is an academic report documenting my year-long work-study experience as a backend developer in the Internal Services team at Affluences, a French company specializing in real-time crowd management and visitor flow optimization.

Technologies

Typst

The document is built using Typst, a modern typesetting system written in Rust. Typst offers several advantages over traditional systems:

• Fast compilation: Near-instant previews thanks to Rust's performance
• Modern syntax: Clean, readable markup language
• Incremental compilation: Only recompiles changed parts
• Package ecosystem: Extensible through community packages
• Open source: Free and actively developed

Template

The report uses the clean-cnam-template package (v1.3.0), which I created specifically for CNAM academic documents. I use this template for both my internship reports and course materials, providing:

• Professional CNAM branding and layout
• Customizable title page with institutional logos
• Proper academic document structure
• French language support

Custom Outline

The table of contents features a unique tree-based rendering system inspired by the visual aesthetics of Grégoire Gamichon's thesis on demoscene and warez art.

The custom outline (custom-outline.typ) generates an ASCII-art tree structure using Unicode box-drawing characters:

┌┬┐
│└ Introduction.....................................2
│  └ Affluences.....................................3
└ Work Environment..................................5
   ├ Working conditions and integration.............5
   │  ├ Technical environment and tools.............6
   │  │  ├ Main technical stack.....................6

This visual approach transforms the traditional linear table of contents into a hierarchical tree that immediately communicates document structure, combining technical precision with aesthetic appeal.
