Didier Trosset has been a professional programmer for 15 years. He started his career with a couple of video games titles published on Mac and PlayStation. After an attempt to create his own start-up, he choses a geographical relocation closer to his origins, near Geneva in the Alps.

From this point in time, he has been working in Switzerland. He first wrote computer programs for a cable and sattelite pay TV provider, controlling the data streams that were travelling back and forth from the Earth to televisions.

He then joined a small company, writing Linux device drivers for high speed digitizer PCI cards. Since bought out two years ago, he is spreading Linux support to other devices for the premier measurement company.
