Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMikael Matveinen is a game programmer and entrepreneur with eight years of professional experience, currently co-founding Grokka Games and running Lingon Games from Vaasa, Finland. He started in industry roles at Rovio and Seriously, where he progressed from feature programming on Angry Birds Classic to leading a five-person engineering team that shipped Best Fiends Stars on an accelerated schedule. Skilled in Unity and increasingly exploring Rust/Bevy (working on Splash Rats), he blends hands-on implementation with architecture, team coordination, and scope management. His background includes academic research at Aalto University and a Master’s in Computer Science/Media Technology, giving him a strong mix of technical depth and experimental curiosity. Notably, he moves fluidly between rapid mobile launch environments and indie engine development, signaling both product sensibility and low-level systems interest.
