Salü, I’m Marc

I’m a Swiss Web Developer and Multimedia Producer living life on the move. I build software solutions for enterprises while travelling the world, capturing the adventures and landscapes I encounter along the way. Photography is my second passion—whether it’s city scenes, nature, or everyday moments as a Digital Nomad.

Since I was a ten-year-old kid I know that I’m going to be a cameraman. I love moving pictures and the possibilities in it.
Because good gear was expensive, I started filming with a cheap compact camera. I also had no powerful computer to cut my movies. Later I realised that this was a great advantage. I learned how to make movies at its basics and got more selective about what I shoot.

To get my dream job I had to finish an apprenticeship first, so I started a 4-year long education as a mediamatician, which sounded like the perfect match for me (and it was). I was lucky to get a position at a video production company. There I could learn to handle gear in another price level than I was used to. Freelancers and my supervisors could teach me a lot about it.

After two hard but interesting years, things didn’t go as expected and the company ran out of money. Because I was learning a lot about web development in my spare time, I had the opportunity to change company. At the new design agency (miux) I got very excited about the web in general and since then I try to push my own boundaries in this area. There I was able to master WordPress and enjoyed building websites from scratch.

After I pushed the technological standards of the web team in the agency I was up for a new challenge. So I started building more complex web solutions with whatwedo. Tools to optimize the workflows in the everyday business.

At the beginning of 2017, I started working part-time at a video production company (ON AIR) as a multimedia producer. I work behind the camera, edit videos, and participate in live productions. That’s my dream job ever since I was little, and I enjoyed it a lot. The combination of working indoors as a developer and working outdoors on weekends as a cameraman was great, and I enjoyed it a lot.

For recreation or side-projects, I kept my passion in photography. I take landscape photos and also do a lot of time-lapses.

I wanted to take advantage of the independent work I had, so I started travelling while working in 2018. After many years in the digital nomad lifestyle, I slowed down a lot. Still exploring new places and culture, but at a way slower pace than initially. Working with flexible working hours, an independent location and as few meetings as possible is my happy state to be in.
