Modoyo

Tech Director at a Stockholm game startup.

Overview

Modoyo is a Stockholm studio founded by industry veterans. I architected the backend — the services and infrastructure behind the game, which often included making changes to the game itself.

I also built the entire backend team, from hiring to mentoring, and helped the studio grow its engineering culture.

Current Status

Previous role.

What I worked on

• Backend services and APIs
• Cloud infrastructure and deployment
• Tooling for the wider team

Lessons Learned

• Games backends have a different rhythm from product SaaS — spikier load, and a much tighter relationship with the client team.
• How to keep things moving at a game startup - a lot more publicly facing demos, even with barely done products.
• How to go through the Swedish liquidation process, unfortunately.
