Gamma finished high school in Zurich and worked as a journalist for a long time. In 2004 he began to publish the comic series “Stan the Hooligan” with the illustrator Christophe Badoux . First in the fanzine “Igang3” of the south curve of FC Zurich , then online and finally the first volume “Stan the Hooligan - Bier, Pyro und Daleo” was published in 2014 by the comic publisher Edition Moderne .

The comic about a little football ultra is "cheeky, sensual and idiosyncratic humorous," according to the Tages-Anzeiger. The NZZ am Sonntag wrote "because the whole thing is only copied from reality and translated into funny comics, you can have a great conversation with Stan" . And the Bernese Bund thinks: "Stan is cult."

Since 2013, Gamma has been publishing - also together with Badoux - the online comic #total digital, which satirizes the digital madness. Since 2015, Badoux / Gamma has published a bi-weekly comic series about the dog “Kooki” by Heliane Canepa and Ancillo Canepa from the FC Zurich area .
