To leverage my current skills while continuing to grow and develop my software engineering skills, I decided to make a standalone trajectory optimization application.
To keep myself busy with a project that would help grow my skills, I decided to make an interactive application to perform trajectory optimization in real time.
I feel confident coding in Python, but I wanted to further develop my proficiency in C++. Also, if I want to perform calculations on the fly that very fast, C++ will be a better option than Python. With this in mind, I decided to structure the project such that the interface will be created in Python using Qt, and the trajectory optimization will happen in C++.
