Summary
Teemu Tuulari is a seasoned software leader and founder with two decades of professional development experience, currently co-founding 721 Games after serving as CTO of a funded location-based game startup. He blends full-stack JavaScript and Clojure/ClojureScript expertise with deep functional and distributed-systems know-how from Erlang, Spark and Hadoop to build scalable multiplayer backends and data pipelines. His background spans telecom-grade C++ systems at Ericsson to machine-learning and probabilistic modeling applied in game metrics and optimization. Known for shipping production game servers, map-generation pipelines and realtime player features, he combines hands-on coding with recruiting and technical leadership. Based in Helsinki, he pairs academic rigor from Aalto/TKK with practical experience across startups and larger engineering organizations, and often bridges data engineering, cloud ops and game-economics insights that aren’t obvious from a job title alone.
