I make things to understand how they work.
I’m Michel, a developer in Zürich exploring the interesting edges of software, from thoughtful apps to cryptography and low-level systems.
A little about me
I began as a self-taught iOS developer, driven mostly by curiosity and the urge to build. Detector and Vento, my first iOS and macOS apps, shaped the hands-on way I still approach development and product design.
That curiosity eventually pulled me deeper into cryptography and low-level systems, culminating in Cypher, a blockchain I built from scratch to explore decentralized trust.
Professionally, I’ve contributed to secure, scalable systems at Hypertegrity and now bring that experience to Digital Architects Zürich.
