Marc Balmer is a Swiss open-source systems expert and entrepreneur with over three decades running Micro Systems and leading R&D at ticketing? arcapos!. He specializes in Unix/Linux, kernel and userland development, and PostgreSQL deployments, with notable past contributions to OpenBSD and NetBSD including kernel drivers and time-signal receiver support. Marc blends consulting, hands-on development and teaching—he has lectured and helped design curricula at the FHNW and holds SVEB trainer certification. His background includes leading technology and innovation at Helvetia Versicherungen, where he introduced early internet, firewall and Java initiatives on enterprise mainframes. Based in Gipf-Oberfrick, he favors pragmatic open-source solutions for commercial environments and often bridges low-level systems work with practical operational deployment.
