Tools Developer / Pipeline Engineer
I'm Moe. I build tools that help people create: Unreal editor utilities, cinematic automation, asset systems, simulation workflows, and interactive experiences. Studio, freelance, and independent work.
Explore my toolsStudio & freelance experience
01 / Tools & pipelines
Editor utilities, asset systems, and automation shaped by production. From an individual artist's task to a workflow used across a team.
Artist-facing interfaces, editor widgets, and controls for everyday Unreal work. I develop tools with artists and supervisors, then refine them through production use.
beloFX · DistilleryVFX · Pixomondo
Automation that connects character variations, material instances, backgrounds, and sequence setup, carrying consistent naming and metadata through render preparation.
Claynosaurz · beloFX
Tools and workflows for building and maintaining real-time asset libraries, connecting asset creation and management with the needs of artists and stage operators.
Lumostage · Pixomondo · DistilleryVFX
A generator for optimizing high-resolution animated assets for the LED volume, using animated imposters to represent assets during real-time playback.
Pixomondo
Virtual camera tools, motion-capture workflows, and a custom VR volume scouter for exploring scenes, reviewing action, and supporting director-led interaction.
beloFX · Versatile Media · DistilleryVFX
Integrating VFX workflows into Unreal, keeping tools useful through engine upgrades, and working across departments to resolve bottlenecks and maintain reliable versions.

How I work
Understand the task. Build the control artists need. Test it in the workflow. Keep improving it with the people who use it.
02 / Selected work
Studio production, freelance development, simulation, and independent experiments. Here's where the tools meet the work.
Lumostage
LED-stage operation, car processing, and real-time set workflows—from asset ingest and playback checks to troubleshooting on shoot days.
Senior Technical Operator · July 2025–present
I built an asset creation and management pipeline for the internal real-time library and work as an on-set virtual production and technical operator.
My work includes ingesting digital assets, checking playback before filming, and resolving technical issues with the production team.
beloFX
Unreal tools that connect VFX pipelines, cinematic workflows, and virtual cameras, developed in collaboration with artists and supervisors.
Unreal Pipeline Engineer · March 2023–February 2025
I integrated VFX pipeline workflows into Unreal and developed Sequencer, virtual production, and VCam tools around production needs.
I worked with artists and supervisors on tool design, iteration, optimization, and QA, maintaining stable versions as the workflows evolved.
Claynosaurz · Contract
A cinematic variation pipeline connecting character setups, material combinations, backgrounds, and sequence generation to render preparation.
Unreal pipeline work · 2025
I developed automation for material instances, character variations, and Sequencer setup, using naming and metadata to connect the combinations.
The workflow brought look development, sequence generation, and render-farm preparation into a repeatable process for a large cinematic collection.
DistilleryVFX
Tools for a custom Unreal pipeline, including a VR volume scouter that supports live director interaction and real-time visualization.
Unreal Engine Realtime Developer · November 2021–February 2022
I acted as technical lead on Distillery's custom Unreal Engine, developing editor interfaces, controls, and creative review tools for the VAD workflow.
I also built a custom LED-volume VR scouter, profiled scenes, and worked across departments to maintain parity between DCC packages and Unreal.
Freelance / Simulation & training
Applying Unreal development and pipeline thinking to training environments and simulation.
CATI Training Systems · 2025
Freelance Unreal development covering simulation data, terrain preparation, and real-time aircraft sequences.
Work spanned pipeline investigation, environment development, and sequence preparation.
03 / Independent tools & experiments
Personal tools and ongoing R&D exploring interaction, local creative workflows, and new ways to work in real time.
Interactive projection / In development
A camera-tracked projection project exploring particles, fluid-like motion, volumetric fields, and body-responsive visuals. My work spans tracking, calibration, controls, and real-time interaction.
Independent software
A local creative tool developed independently, outside studio production. Part of my broader work building practical software around creative workflows.
Unreal R&D
Explorations in Gaussian splat workflows, Unreal plugins, and in-editor tool integration—alongside ongoing experiments with spatial interaction, projection, and sound.
Research & prototypes04 / What I do
I work between artists, supervisors, and technical teams to make real-time workflows useful in production.
LED-stage operations, virtual cameras, motion capture, asset ingest, playback validation, and on-set problem solving.
Unreal Engine · nDisplay · Live LinkBlueprint-based editor tools, asset libraries, production workflow integration, and automation built around how artists work.
Blueprints · Editor Utility Widgets · PerforceSequencer tools, material variation systems, VAD workflows, render preparation, and scene profiling and optimization.
Sequencer · Movie Render Queue · MaterialsCamera-driven interaction, projection mapping, spatial experiences, and experiments connecting movement, visuals, and sound.
TouchDesigner · MadMapper · Ableton LiveUnreal-based simulation work, terrain and database preparation, integration research, and real-time training sequences.
OpenFlight · CIGI · OSM · SimBlocks05 / A little about me
I'm a real-time tools developer, pipeline engineer, and virtual production specialist based in Vancouver. I've worked in Unreal since 2014, across interactive media, VFX, simulation, cinematic workflows, and LED-stage production.
I like the part where a creative idea meets a technical challenge: building a tool that makes an artist's day easier, connecting a pipeline, or working out how a new kind of interaction should behave.
My strongest work lives in Blueprints, Sequencer, and production tools. I bring that experience to studio teams, freelance projects, and independent software and installations.
