About me

Portrait of Jeremias Märki

Name: Jeremias Manuel Märki
Nationality: Swiss
Languages: German, English, French

At the age of 10, I started programming and it became a favourite hobby of mine. After middle-school, I started working as a software developer in 1996. Soon, I developed a special affection to document production because it turns abstract data into something tangible, a piece of paper, an envelope. Of course nowadays, electronic documents become more and more important, but a printed document will always be something special. Since starting my own business in 2005, I’ve had the pleasure of working with many different clients, mostly software-developing companies in the output management business. In my free time, I enjoy sailing on my little catamaran and reading science fiction books.
