Top SchoolJean-philip Desjardins is a seasoned software leader and entrepreneur with 12 years building game engines, technical teams, and product-focused platforms from Montreal. As Co-Founder of RedoApps and a software engineer at Implicit Conversions, he blends hands-on engineering with strategic technical leadership shaped by roles as Programming Technical Director and Senior Technical Director at major game studios. He led the creation and management of Ludia’s in-house engine that powered hits like Jurassic World: The Game, guiding ports to mobile, web, and VR while defining longer-term technology strategy.

His background in software engineering from Polytechnique Montréal underpins a pragmatic, product-oriented approach to R&D and scalable tooling.
