Matthew Miner

I’m a software developer working at the intersection of entertainment and technology. Games, VR / AR, visual effects.

I studied computer science at the University of Waterloo and filmmaking at Vancouver Film School. At the latter I made a truly bonkers musical about a disgraced scientist who invents the spork.

I founded a startup and have worked at several others creating immersive experiences and tools to develop them. Unity and Unreal Engine zealot. Currently building software for virtual production and realtime filmmaking.

I’m also the M in comedy duo The S&M Experience.

Living in beautiful Vancouver, Canada.
