Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRémi Gillig is a seasoned graphics and tools engineer with 16 years of experience building rendering systems, engine tooling, and production pipelines for console and PC games. Currently a Software Development Engineer II on Mapbox’s 3D Maps team, he brings deep expertise in C++, C#, DirectX12/Vulkan, HLSL/GLSL and modern engines like UE5 and Unity. His career includes leading graphics work at Rare and Firesprite where he shipped features such as GPU-based culling, planar reflections, order-independent transparency, and a reusable imposter system that empowered artists. Rémi pairs low-level rendering research with pragmatic tooling—he’s as comfortable implementing shader-heavy systems as he is creating CI/build automation and artist-friendly plugins. He contributes to cross-platform build tooling on GitHub (notably enhancing polly’s CI and Visual Studio architectures) and has a track record of improving team velocity by moving functionality into plugins and robust pipelines. Based in Peterborough, England, he combines a research-minded approach to graphics with a focus on shipping practical, artist-centric solutions.
