Christopher Poermandya

PlaySide Studios
Associate Producer
Melbourne, Australia

Hi! I'm Chris (or Chrispy as some people know me), and I'm a Melbourne-based Games Producer, working at PlaySide Studios. I am currently working on an unannounced project, and have previously worked on a variety of live service titles, including: Hatchtopia Life, Animal Warfare, Idle Area 51, and more!

I'd love to talk more about project management, production pipelines, documentation, and most importantly of all: spreadsheets!
