Indie Maker — Dublin Dublin —:—

Vedran Podvalej

I build audio tools, language apps, browser games and tools that help indie devs ship. Small team of one, things that last.

(About)

I design, build and ship whole products on my own, from shaders to payments. Software that people actually use, made to last.
