In 2023, I embarked on a journey that would forever change my professional trajectory. After years of crafting virtual worlds as a game developer, I took a leap of faith to build MODI, my first standalone application using C++ and Unreal Engine 5.0.

What started as a passion project became the catalyst for my transition into software engineering. Today, I’m thrilled to share the story of MODI, an app designed to revolutionize workflows for real estate developers despite it restrictions, and how it became the greatest milestone of my career.

Why MODI? The Problem I Aimed to Solve

As a game developer, I thrived on solving technical challenges, but real estate’s outdated, fragmented workflows intrigued me.

MODI was born to unify these processes, empowering teams to focus on growth instead of administrative chaos.

The Journey: From Unreal Engine 5 to Unreal Impact

As a first-time app developer, MODI tested my limits. Learning C++’s intricacies and adapting Unreal Engine 5 (typically used for games) to enterprise software was daunting. But the puzzle of merging robust backend logic with a user-friendly interface became addictive.

The 9-month development cycle taught me resilience: debugging financial algorithms at 2 AM and optimizing contract generators for speed. When companies started to present MODI as a competitive advantage, it change for once my carrer.

Conclusion: More Than an App—A New Beginning

MODI isn’t just software; it’s proof that bold career pivots can yield extraordinary results. For real estate developers, it’s a tool to reclaim time and reduce stress.
