// Unreal Engine Developer

Shipping gameplay systems, editor tools & VR products in C++ and UE5

I build the technical backbone that lets teams iterate faster: real-time mocap pipelines, Slate editor plugins, multiplayer replication, and console-optimized gameplay. Shipped a VR product for a government tourism board, a PlayStation Talents finalist, and a title listed on Steam.

Why Work With Me

I don't just write code. I ship products, build the tools that accelerate teams, and own problems end-to-end.

Shipped VR & Console

Delivered a full VR product commissioned by a government tourism board and a PlayStation Talents finalist optimized for PS4. I know what it takes to ship to certification.

Deep C++ & Engine Knowledge

I read engine source daily. From NNE/DirectML GPU inference to custom Live Link sources, I work at the layer where most developers stop and I build reusable systems there.

Tooling That Saves Hours

Optilogger, SmartFolders, custom Slate editors: I build the profiling and pipeline tools that eliminate manual work and let artists and designers ship without waiting on engineering.

Studio Founder & Team Lead

Founded The Boltage Studio, established CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, ran sprint-based delivery for distributed teams, and shipped a title to Steam. I understand the full picture.

Open Source & Featured Projects

Production-grade C++ plugins and systems, all open source, all battle-tested.

Kinemotion Mocap

C++ NNE / DIRECTML LIVE LINK

Real-time monocular mocap plugin for UE5.3+. Runs AI pose inference on GPU via NNE (DirectML), decodes 133 keypoints into a 19-bone skeleton, and streams through a custom Live Link source with auto-calibration, anti-jitter filtering, and multiplayer support.

Optilogger Plugin

C++ SLATE UI PROFILING

Editor profiling plugin (1,100+ lines analysis, 865 lines Slate UI) that scans meshes, textures, materials, animations, audio, lighting, and post-process. Memory estimation, shader instruction counting, frustum culling analysis, and JSON export. ★6 stars.

SmartFolders Plugin

PYTHON C++ EDITOR

Rule-driven asset organizer for Content Browser. Dual modes (type-based + intelligent name-grouping), Epic-recommended presets, full undo, and batch operations. Reduces manual organization by ~70%. ★4 stars.

Paint System

C++ RENDER TARGET MATERIALS

Runtime vertex-color painting for Static and Skeletal Meshes. Per-channel RGBA, configurable fade, GPU-batched updates, and full Blueprint API. ★5 stars.

Procedural Animated System

C++ SPLINE PCG

Environment-aware procedural generator. Line-traces terrain to spawn spline bridges, zigzag wall ladders, or stepped ramps based on surface normals. Animation-ready with runtime spawning.

Time Control Mechanic

C++ PHYSICS GAMEPLAY

Per-object time manipulation: fast-forward, rewind, and freeze. Captures and restores full physics state per actor for granular temporal control.
