Cedric Tan, Founder & Principal

I make focused software for real-world needs

I run Orbital Softworks on my own in Singapore. I design, build and steward each product directly, with simple and fair business models.

I have spent much of my career working with technology, but what has always interested me most is understanding problems, seeing possibilities others might overlook, and finding better ways forward. Orbital Softworks brings together that experience and my conviction that software should serve a real purpose. I bring the same curiosity, care, and commitment to what I build, with the aim of creating products that are genuinely useful, thoughtfully made, and worth standing behind.
