Paris Buttfield-Addison is co-founder of Secret Lab, an indie game and app development studio in Hobart, Australia.

Jon Manning is co-founder of Secret Lab, and is a software engineering expert in Swift, C#, and Objective-C. Jon builds games and apps at Secret Lab for clients from around the world, including the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Qantas, and Meebo (acquired by Google).

Tim Nugent pretends to be a mobile app developer, game designer, PhD student, and now he even pretends to be an author. When he isn't busy avoiding being found out as a fraud, he spends most of his time designing and creating little apps and games he won't let anyone see. Tim spent a disproportionately long time writing this tiny little bio, most of which was spent trying to stick a witty sci-fi reference in, before he simply gave up. Tim can be found as @The_McJones on Twitter.
