About Me

Hello! I'm Hexun Zhang, a gameplay programmer with a background in interactive media. I'm currently pursuing a Master of Engineering in Game Design, Development, and Innovation at Duke University, after a Bachelor of Arts in Interactive Media Arts from New York University.

My work sits where technology meets creativity — primarily game development in Unreal Engine and C++, alongside web development and 3D art. I enjoy figuring out how systems fit together, and I care about the craft of making things that feel good to play.

Let's build something incredible together!
