Stockholm, Sweden
Summary
👤
SeniorMischa Alff is a seasoned software leader and founder with 13 years of experience building and shipping complex systems across games, tooling and infrastructure. As Founder & CEO of Storyweavers and formerly CTO/Engineering Lead at Mutate, he blends hands‑on engineering in C++, Python and Rust with strong technical leadership—running teams, defining delivery processes and transforming R&D groups into product-focused organisations. His background spans high‑scale build and CI work at Frostbite, engine and tooling at Avalanche and Kylotonn, and hands‑on Unreal and online services work shipping multiplayer title features and crossplay. Mischa is an autodidact who relishes deep technical challenges (he describes himself as a “slayer of technical debt”) and still contributes low‑level fixes—such as cross‑platform Python build compatibility in notable open projects like TauLabs. Comfortable toggling between code, DevOps and executive responsibilities, he focuses on enabling teams to move faster while maintaining high engineering standards. Based in Stockholm, he pairs entrepreneurial grit with a pragmatic, people‑centred leadership style.
