Experience with frontend technologies like React and backend technologies like Haskell is preferred. | Soaring high above the Gardon River, the Pont du Gard is a masterpiece of ancient Roman engineering, blending monumental scale with remarkable precision. Constructed in the 1st century CE, this aqueduct carried water over 30 miles to the Roman colony of Nemausus (modern-day Nîmes, France). Built almost entirely without mortar, the Pont du Gard relied on meticulously cut limestone blocks, some weighing up to six tons, fitted so precisely that the structure has endured for nearly two thousand years. Its average gradient of 1 in 3,000 (about 0.03%) allowed water to flow steadily and efficiently across the vast distance, a testament to the Romans’ deep understanding of water management and infrastructure design.
