The recruitment process went very smoothly, and the exchanges during my various interviews instilled confidence in me, strengthening my desire to work for SmartWave. I was hired based on my profile, which particularly appealed to me, demonstrating a genuine desire to work with me in the long term.
I started in October 2019. During the initial weeks, I underwent online training in Angular and Java while working on a personal project to apply my knowledge. Simultaneously, I joined an in-house project at SmartWave. Finally, I found a mission in a large administration that aligned with my interests, a Fullstack Java Springboot Angular project.

I was warmly welcomed upon my arrival at Smartwave. The support from my colleagues was particularly valuable, especially considering the significant change that this move to Switzerland represented. Their attention and guidance from the beginning made this transition easier and more enjoyable.
Working at Smartwave feels like being part of a large family. Every day, it’s a pleasure to meet my colleagues, whether it’s for a summer swim in the lake or to share a fondue in winter. The atmosphere is exceptional, and I have been fortunate to develop genuine friendships, making the experience even more enriching.
Life in this region is extremely peaceful, with a simply beautiful living environment. Compared to my previous surroundings, I feel much less insecurity and tension here, contributing to a more serene daily life.
One of the most memorable moments was a picnic with colleagues by the lake at the beginning of summer. The experience of swimming with the snowy peaks of the mountains in the background was simply amazing. This moment of relaxation and camaraderie will be etched in my memory.

Consultant IAM and Security
I joined SmartWave in July 2023, and my arrival was well-prepared with breakfast offered for the team. In my case, I found it contributed significantly to easing my integration. The equipment (PC, headset, bag, water bottle, and even a SmartWave sweatshirt) was ready and handed over to me in the morning. I had several follow-up interviews; the goals were clear and shared, and I quickly found my place in the company.
I settled in the Swiss countryside, and I have no regrets. I am 30 minutes away from a ski resort, 20 minutes from the beach, and a 45-minute commute to work. I am living every day what used to be a vacation for me!

Leaving Île-de-France, I didn’t expect to enjoy myself so much in the region. Lakes, mountains, skiing, and cable cars fill my weekends. I adapted quickly to the area, and I feel very comfortable here.
My best moment at SmartWave was participating in the annual SmartWave event even before officially joining the company. It was a festive and sporty moment spent with those who would become my colleagues.

Until now, the best project of my career is the one I am currently working on at HUG. It’s an application that calculates the workload of doctors and nurses for the next day. What makes this project truly interesting is that it will be something genuinely useful for users. Based on the calculation results, they can determine if they have enough doctors and nurses to meet the patients’ needs. And if not, they will know in advance that they need to move staff from a less busy unit to the unit with the highest workload for that day. This will prevent doctors and nurses from having an overly busy day by providing temporary assistance. Through this project, I am solidifying my knowledge of Spring Boot and Angular, and I am learning more about Spring Batch, Spring Cloud Data Flow, Kafka, and reactive programming.
