👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolYannis Jaquet is a computer scientist and PhD-trained biologist with 11 years of experience building web applications, primarily using Ruby on Rails and React.js. Based in Geneva, he develops learner-facing platforms at EPFL’s Laboratory of Digital Epidemiology and led the development of the EPFL Extension School’s complex learner management and billing system. He blends scientific rigor with pragmatic engineering to translate educational and research requirements into scalable, user-focused web products. An active community builder, he organizes GenevaWeb and has run Rails Girls workshops, reflecting a commitment to developer education and inclusion. Not immediately obvious: his transition from biology to web development gives him a strong aptitude for modeling complex domain logic and communicating technical solutions to non-technical stakeholders.
