Hi, I'm Marc

I'm a Software Craftsman based in Switzerland — part architect, part hands-on engineer. Building software end-to-end for over 30 years: from stakeholder conversations and concept to implementation and operations.

What I Do

  • 01. Software Architecture & Engineering: I love building software end-to-end — from concept and architecture all the way to hands-on coding. Software that serves its purpose and users love.
  • 02. Cloud & DevOps: Expert in .NET, Azure, and GCP, bridging the gap between development and operations.
  • 03. Process & Workflow: Continuously questioning and improving how we develop software — because great products need great processes.
  • 04. Open Source & Personal Projects: I also love coding in my spare time — maintaining open source projects like solarlens.ch, building EV charging solutions, creating websites & blogs, working on feldnah.ch, and more smaller pieces of code and apps.

Beyond Code

Most importantly, I enjoy spending time with my wife and our two teenagers.

When I'm not in front of a terminal, you'll find me in the Swiss Alps — hiking and exploring in summer, hitting the slopes in winter.

I also love diving into the cold lakes and rivers of Switzerland — underwater photography is my favorite way to disconnect. See tauchfotos.ch and tauchbolde.ch.
