As a co-founder and leader at Mixed Realms, I've had the privilege of heading an indie game studio from Singapore - a country not typically associated with significant video game development. Established in 2016, our humble team of four blossomed to a robust crew of twenty following the successful release of our inaugural game, Sairento VR. This achievement has been made possible by the invaluable feedback we receive from the gaming community and our unyielding commitment to quality.My philosophy is that while the game studio provides the initial concepts and overarching plan for a game, the gamers' role is critical in shaping its evolution. As such, I hold it 'sacred' to continually engage with and learn from our players to refine our games until they reach their pinnacle.Today, we proudly stand as one of Singapore's most prolific game studios and a leading VR game developer in Asia.

I lead the international division of Spiral Up Games, a game publisher specializing in representing high-quality PC indie games. Our comprehensive support spans marketing, funding, community-building, management, QA testing, advisory services, localization, and more.While many publishers focus predominantly on Western markets, we maintain a balanced emphasis across all significant markets, including China - the world's second-largest gaming market. Promoting a game in China requires an understanding of cultural nuances and building relationships with local influencers and press - a challenge for those without regional roots.However, our strength lies in our ability to bridge this gap. Armed with the necessary expertise and resources, we can navigate this unique landscape and expose quality indie titles to this burgeoning market, a capability not many publishers can boast of.

In 2009, as the smartphone revolution was just beginning to reshape our world, I had the privilege of co-founding Swag Soft. Our vision was clear - we wanted to craft mobile applications for businesses to better connect with their stakeholders, as well as create entertaining gaming apps that would captivate audiences worldwide.From humble beginnings as a team of three, we've expanded our family to over thirty incredibly talented individuals. We've successfully completed over a hundred diverse projects and have established a solid international presence with offices in Singapore and Vietnam.As we continue on our journey, I look forward to seeing Swag Soft reach new heights, exploring new territories, and continuing to make an impact through our creative and innovative digital solutions.

I founded MediaFreaks, nurturing the company from its inception and transforming it from a one-person initiative into a vibrant team of 30 professionals. This growth was driven by our unwavering commitment to innovation and quality. We charted new territory by integrating animation into a variety of formats such as TV advertisements, documentaries, and medical visualizations. This innovative approach enabled us to secure contracts for a multitude of projects, with my personal guidance steering the creative production. It was during this exciting phase that I created two cartoon series, which found audiences in several countries.In a natural progression, MediaFreaks expanded its scope to become a full-service marketing agency. Alongside our renowned animation capabilities, we began offering a comprehensive array of digital marketing solutions. Today, MediaFreaks stay dedicated to producing captivating and engaging content, maintaining its position at the forefront of the industry.
