MEET THE TEAM
Rishi, Co-founder
Rishi is one half of FIPLAB’s founding team and started his first business venture at the age of 14. Before he finished High School, he had already negotiated advertising deals with multi-million dollar companies such as Take-2 Interactive and IGN. He is responsible for heading up our development & design teams, managing partnerships and general operations. Rishi loves technology, travelling & gaming – he once offered a job to someone on the condition that they could manage to beat him at a Slayer match of Halo.
Frankie, Mac/iOS Developer
Frankie is an all-round programmer and is involved with our in-house Mac and iOS apps, as well as dealing with FIPLAB’s web development needs. He is proficient in, wait for it, Objective-C, JavaScript, PHP, MySQL, HTML, CSS, SASS, and LESS. Completely self taught, he has been coding since the age of 13, developing websites for family and friends. He’s a huge fan of rock climbing, cycling and baking delicious desserts!
Tristan, 3D Designer
Originally from Bologna, Italy, Tristan moved to London to pursue his skills in 3D modelling, and recently completed a VFX course at the world renowned Escape Studios. He has been instrumental in crafting our collection of Talking characters for the iPhone/iPad.

His first business venture was at age 15, with a t-shirt company that he operated at school. Anirudh is a huge music lover, and this can be seen by his drumming, concert-going and perpetual beatboxing.
