Jonas Chapuis is a Principal Software Engineer in Lausanne who blends deep functional-programming expertise with pragmatic distributed-systems design across startups and industrial-scale platforms. He helped architect Scala-based microservices for fleet orchestration at Bestmile/ZF and, as Nexthink’s 10th employee, built core rich-client and analytics components including a Scala natural-language search engine. His Ph.D. in biomedical engineering led to a computer-aided surgery application deployed in hospitals, showing an unusual track record of turning research software into clinical tools. Today he leads a full-stack Scala 3 effort (cats-effect, Scala.js, Laminar) and leverages Spark/Sedona to build a geospatial decision-support system for urban renaturation to help cities mitigate heat and floods. He also teaches and speaks locally and is known for pioneering abstractions and libraries that help teams ship reliable, optimized distributed systems.
