Hands-on support
Hi! I'm Fred.
I am a gaming industry veteran with 25+ years of experience bridging the gap between deep engineering and business strategy.
As COO/Co-Founder of 3rdKind, I bootstrapped a Japanese mobile publishing studio to $2M annual revenue, managing 45+ titles and securing licenses with icons like Sanrio and TV Tokyo. Most recently, I’ve specialized in Growth Engineering, scaling an indie community to 80K+ followers using AI agents and automated GCP pipelines.
Whether you are a founder navigating early-stage scaling, a CTO architecting a scalable cloud infrastructure, or a senior dev transitioning into leadership, I provide the 'production-ready' roadmap to help you ship.
