Nutraveris is a consulting and software company that helps businesses in the nutrition and health industries to market dietary supplements. Since September 2025, I work in the IT department, as a Junior Developer alternating between periods of study at the university and working at the company, on-site.
This program has been created by the Government to help students to get a job, real-world experience and money to finance the studies and companies to find workforce cheaper than full-time employees and train students on their technos and methods. It's a win-win situation.
How it started
In May 2025, I was in Cardiff for a 3-month internship to fulfill the 2nd year requirement of my Computer Science degree, and one of the professor reached to the students to remind them that some work-study offers made by companies to the university had no applicants. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to do my 3rd year in this work-study program (since it has some drawbacks), so I only looked at the offers vaguely but one stood out.
The company was looking for a web developer (what I love) with knowledge on modern technos (which I had), for a 1 year contract (the duration I wanted), in the nearest city of my parents' house (which was perfect). I thought :
"Well, this is for me. It matches everything I want and there are no applicant ? Let's apply RIGHT NOW"
So I applied, I sent an email describing who I am, what I do and I attached my CV. I heard back from the recruiter about a week later, he was proposing a meeting with him to verify if my application was a fit with what they are looking for. 1 week and a half later, the meeting started at 9am, we talked about my current internship, my personal projects, etc... We also talked about their company, what they do and how they do it, how comfortable I am with their technologies. The meeting went well, and was honestly interesting !
Fast forward to 1 month later, I had another meeting with their HR to be sure my personality was a good match with the company values, and the paperwork started between the university and the company: I've been accepted ! So my first day was set: Monday, 1st September, 2025, 9am.
My work
My main focus at Nutraveris is building automated test suites on web applications. They have 3 applications with great names: Manager, Compliance and SRDI. These applications have a lot of pages, manage a lot of data, and are used by a lot of people. When you update a page with new datas or a new connection to another page, it can create a problem in another page, an unplanned .
