Didier Trosset has been a professional programmer for 25 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 chooses 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 satellite pay TV provider, controlling the data streams that were traveling back and forth from the Earth to televisions.

He then joined a small company named Acqiris, writing Linux device drivers for High-Speed Digitizer PCI cards. Acqiris was bought out in late 2006 by Agilent Technologies, where he has continued spreading Linux support to other instruments. The Electronics Measurement Group of Agilent Technologies then became Keysight Technologies.

In August 2017, the PCIe High-Speed Digitizer business spun off from Keysight, giving birth for the second time to Acqiris.
