Liana Pigeot is a versatile principal UI programmer with over a decade of experience shipping games and fast-moving web products across PC, mobile, console and VR, currently leading UI work at Wushu Studios after a recent AAA stint at Rare. She blends low-level C++ and engine work (Unreal, custom Narrat engine) with modern front-end stacks (TypeScript, React, Solid.js) and back-end systems, making her equally comfortable optimizing UI performance or adding secure server-side features. As a hands-on lead she has repeatedly built internal engines and frameworks that accelerated prototyping and production, mentored engineers, and driven conversions of large legacy codebases to TypeScript. Her open-source backend contributions include adding rate-limiting and file storage options to a multi-tenant knowledge graph, showing attention to authentication, scalability and developer ergonomics. Colocated in London, she thrives on solving cross-domain problems and shipping playable, polished experiences under tight timelines.
