Angelo Pinho Dos Santos, Technical Game Designer at Ubisoft: "Before ESMA, working in video games was an impossible dream for me !"
Angelo Pinho Dos Santos, a graduate of ESMA’s Video Games course, is living a daydream. A video games enthusiast from an early age, the young man was on the brink of missing out on a promising and exhilarating career. During his time at ESMA, he took the time to answer a few questions for his former school, to which he is still very attached!
When he joined ESMA, Angelo Pinho Dos Santos already had a BTS CIEL (Cybersecurity in IT and Electronic Networks), and even some professional experience to his credit. However, it was the world of video games that had always fascinated him, and the young man decided to take the plunge by joining ESMA’s Video Game course at the start of the 2017 academic year. Today, 7 years on, he’s not hiding his pleasure: after having cut his teeth at the Ubisoft Annecy studio, where he had the opportunity to work on major licences such as Riders Republic, Star Wars Outlaws and XDefiant, he recently joined the video game giant’s Bordeaux teams as a Technical Game Designer.
Check out the interview he recently gave to ESMA, where he talks about his career path, the personal challenges he has faced, and all the advantages that the training provided by the school has brought him.
