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.

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.
