Summary
Jonas Chapuis is a Principal Software Engineer based in Lausanne with deep expertise in functional programming, distributed systems, and Scala-driven microservices. He has steered core platform work at Bestmile/ZF for fleet orchestration and was an early technical leader at Nexthink, building real-time analytics and rich client experiences that helped scale the company from startup to enterprise. His background spans academic research—he holds a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering and built a deployed computer-aided surgery system—to industrial software, giving him a rare mix of rigorous research and production-grade engineering. Currently he is applying full-stack Scala 3, Scala.js, Spark and spatial tooling to build a geospatial decision-support system for urban renaturation, showing a strong interest in applying advanced software to real-world environmental challenges. Colleagues know him for designing elegant abstractions and pioneering optimization algorithms that bridge theory and high-impact delivery.
