The name Almodad in Hebrew letters is אלמודד. Below: how its number adds up, which page of the Torah it falls on and what verse stands there. Everything is computed, nothing is guessed.
אלמודד
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is אלמודד. A Tanakh name: a son of Joktan (first in Genesis 10:26; 2 mentions in the Tanakh). Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 85 — the same as the Torah word פה, “mouth”. That number points to Torah page 85 of 354 — in the portion Vayigash. What that portion is about: Judah pleads for Benjamin; Joseph reveals himself to his brothers; Jacob goes down to Egypt; the family settles in Goshen. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 15:1. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Almodad” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: אלמודד. A name from the Tanakh — its Tanakh spelling is used. If your name is spelled differently, correct the Hebrew spelling and the report is recomputed.
Adding up the letters of the name אלמודד gives 85.

Other ways of counting
The tradition counts the same name in several ways. The main one is above: each letter is its number. The other eight are old and checkable too; each gives its own number, and many of them have a Torah word with the same number.
Final letters as 500–900 (mispar gadol) — 85. A Torah word with the same number is פה — “mouth” (Genesis 4:11).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 22. A Torah word with the same number is יחד — “together” (Genesis 13:6).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 40. A Torah word with the same number is חלב — “fat” (Genesis 4:4).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 292. A Torah word with the same number is רביעי — “fourth” (Genesis 1:19).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 2569.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 346. A Torah word with the same number is שום — “to put, set” (Genesis 2:8).
The letters that come out are תכיפקק — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 710. A Torah word with the same number is שית — “to put, set” (Genesis 3:15).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 1145.
The number 85 appears in the classical books 37 times across 18 works. The earliest mention is בעל הטורים על התורה (~1300).

The verse of your name
There is a custom: at the end of the prayer one says a Torah verse that begins with the first letter of one's name and ends with its last. For אלמודד these are א and ד. The Pentateuch has 3 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 15:1:
אחר הדברים האלה היה דבר ה׳ אל אברם במחזה לאמר אל תירא אברם אנכי מגן לך שכרך הרבה מאד
This is from the portion Lech Lecha. What it is about: “Go forth”: Abraham leaves Haran; the promise of land and offspring; the covenant between the pieces; circumcision.
