Education
Our guest on this podcast is Yannis Jaquet. Yannis Jaquet is a web developer and head of the web team at the EPFL Extension School. It’s fair to say “no Yannis – no Extension School”: he literally built the school’s learning platform from scratch, all by himself, and we’ll talk more about that in this podcast. Yannis studied genetics in Geneva, and after his PhD he switched over to web development. He joined the Digital Epidemiology Lab, in 2015, where he quickly became the lab’s “CTO”. When the Extension School started, Yannis was the perfect person to build the school’s platform. We’ll talk with him transitioning into web development, about how to build a platform like the Extension School, and about his new meetup group [Geneva Web](https://www.meetup.com/genevaweb/).
