About Acret Philippines Inc.

Bridging Japanese engineering excellence with Filipino innovation to deliver world-class software solutions for businesses across the Philippines and beyond.

Our Story

Founded in Kobe, Japan in 2008, Acret Inc. began as a vision to bring Japanese engineering precision to the global software development landscape. For over a decade, we've been trusted by enterprises across Japan to deliver robust, scalable, and innovative software solutions.

In 2019, recognizing the incredible talent and growing tech ecosystem in the Philippines, we established Acret Philippines Inc. in Cebu. This expansion represents more than just geographic growth—it's a fusion of two rich cultures united by a shared commitment to excellence.

Today, we combine the meticulous attention to detail and quality standards of Japanese "Monozukuri" (craftsmanship) with the creativity, adaptability, and collaborative spirit of Filipino "Bayanihan" to create software solutions that truly make a difference.

Ever since I was younger, it dawned on me that computer stuff would be my thing. From the designs of frontend elements to the logic of codes, my fascination for software has always been there. In this space, I evolve and grow with the changes of technology and get to experience exciting learnings and challenges, both old and new. The community is varied and supreme and full of goods I have yet to unravel. And working in Acret made me realize this is the realm I will always wander.

Hey there! 👋 I'm Mark, your resident web wizard. By day, I'm sprinkling magic on pixels, and when the sun sets, I'm wielding my trusty keyboard against pesky bugs. 🌟 Throughout my journey, I've been on the lookout for opportunities to level up. Whether it was through my education in IT, my work experiences as a former production graphic designer and now as an Acret-PH software developer, or through exploring new hobbies. I have discovered that greatness lies beyond our comfort zones.

Though I didn't grow up in this bustling city, I'm determined to thrive amidst its energy. With life bursting with possibilities, I'm itching to see where my journey takes me. But for now, let's dive into some coding mischief together! 🚀

I was raised in Cebu, where I learned the importance of hard work, integrity, and earning people’s trust. These values continue to guide me today as I lead our Philippine team.

With a background in software development, I understand the responsibility that comes with building tools people rely on. My goal is simple: to deliver solutions that work — and to stand by our clients every step of the way.

As a general manager, I believe success is not just about results, but about building lasting relationships. For me, trust is built in the small things: being transparent, following through on promises, and always putting clients first.

With knowledge in software development, I believe in the importance of building reliable and user-centered tools. Developing functional, well-documented software is what drives me. I enjoy diving into the details and ensuring every user experience is considered, even if it means getting lost in the software's documentation (the more, the better).

I also believe that great software is built through collaboration. Success in development isn't just about individual achievements, but about learning from those around me.
