« I know engineers, they love to change things »

– Leonard `Bones` McCoy, Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

Who am I?

My name’s Marc Ammann, but don’t you dare to call me “mister” or “sir”, my parents gave me a name and I like it – just “Marc”. (That also includes “Grüezi Herr Ammann”)
I’m a self employed iPhone developer, my company is called `partiql` where we, together with my friend Stefan Sicher, develop kick ass mobile software – and having fun doing it :)

I live in Winterthur, Switzerland.

Also, I have very strong (but liberal) opinions about employment, economy and morons. And sometimes, these things even come hand in hand.

Also, I’m a member of the green liberal party of Switzerland..

Education? Well.. most of the things I talk about are self taught. But I studied Computer Science at ETH in Zurich, next to that I worked for Liip and Memonic in the past years, before I founded my own company.

But, in the end, I’m “mostly harmless“.

And this blog?

This blog is my personal (tech-)blog. I know, blogs are out of fashion these days, but I still like to talk about a few things from now and then.
So mostly, this will be about iPhone/iPad development or new product announcements.

Want to talk to me?
