Pierre Randria

Associate Lead Gameplay Programmer at Ubisoft Paris with years of experience across mobile games and AA titles. Games are my passion — I care deeply about the 3Cs (camera, character, controller) and gamefeel, always chasing the kind of responsiveness and polish that makes interactions satisfying to play.
