Hi! I’m Marc
I love Blockchain technology, everything startup and basketball.
I’m currently the founder and CTO at Fume Finance.
I love learning, whether it be complex topics or
I have a passion for self-improvement, basketball officiating
I like communication
I enjoy learning new languages.
I studied at EPFL for both my Bachelor and a Masters. I got my Computer Science Engineer title in 2021. I specialised in Decentralised Ledger technologies and Machine Learning.
I went for a bit into the consulting world. I did not like it so much, and decided to quite after a couple of years.
My biggest passion is sport, and in particular basketball 🏀. I have played for 18 years, coached for 4, and am currently an international referee. I started to officiate 12 years ago,
