Push Immersive Forward
Synth Riders was born out of Labs, our unique innovation space that gives us room to prioritize pushing the possibilities of new technologies to create the best possible games and experiences.
This zeal for staying at the forefront of creative technology enabled Kluge to make Synth Riders a day one launch title on both Sony’s PlayStation VR2, and Apple’s Vision Pro, as well as to make an acclaimed debut on Meta Quest 3.

Founding Team
Kluge’s cross-functional team is led by a partnership of four individuals with unique skill sets and distinct backgrounds.
Arturo Perez
CEO
Arturo is Kluge’s philosopher king. When he’s not thinking about Kluge, you can find him out surfing or contemplating Thomas Aquinas.
Abraham is our artiste extraordinaire and the co-creator of Synth Riders. When he isn’t dreaming up new VR experiences or artistic projects you can find him living in the metaverse.
Arturo founded Kluge in 2007 with the bold idea that intentional design, strategic partnership, and creative technology could be the basis for solving problems, big or small. Open dialogue, collaboration, and ideation from the whole team became part of the secret sauce of Kluge’s success. Arturo has been identifying good ideas and creative solutions since he began selling websites back in high school. Later, he became the Director of Digital for a business consultancy advising start-ups and helping them fundraise. In between, he founded a music magazine with a different-but-similar name -- Kludge -- where dozens of writers covered hundreds of artists. It should be no surprise that today’s Kluge developed a top-selling rhythm and music VR game.
Arturo is on the Advisory Board of the LMU Entrepreneurs Program, AI LA, and AIGA LA.
He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Marketing and Business Management.
Abraham Aguero Creative Director
Before he became Kluge’s Creative Director, Abraham founded his own digital agency in Venezuela. A few years later, Arturo and Abraham merged and made the Kluge of today. Designing for the digital world since the early days of Flash, he began seeing opportunities to build beyond web designs to fully immersive VR experiences. Abraham created a series of mobile VR experiences in late 2016 and, through the support of the synth music community, launched Synth Riders in 2017. Today, he leads Kluge’s Product Team as they dream up more immersive experiences -- a few more VR games are in the works!
Abraham trained as a web designer at the Darias Design Institute specializing in graphic design.
Daniel Garcia COO
Daniel started his career in development as an engineer and, for a decade, he honed the ability to not only build fantastic products but also to ask the right questions and lead his team to success. He joined Kluge as a developer in 2012 bringing his acumen in engineering to everything from mobile apps to AR experiences. Today, you can find Daniel running point on all of Kluge’s operations - from our service projects to our own product IPs.
Daniel has a Bachelor of Engineering and a Master of Science in Web & Mobile Computing.
Cameron Wood CAO
A practitioner of Tai Chi and passionate follower of Buddhist philosophy, Cameron navigates idiosyncratic operational logistics with ease. Since joining Kluge in 2012, he’s run and scaled an international team of 50+ Kluge collaborators and has been known to wear many hats over the years. In his previous life, he was a film producer, actor, and more recently the Director of Operations at Kline Hawkes, a Venture Capital firm.
Cameron has a Bachelor of Visual Arts and is a graduate of the Anderson School of Business.
