Available to hire
Hi, I’m Owen Kuhn, a versatile software engineer and game designer based in Missoula, MT. I specialize in building modular, networked games and interactive experiences using Unity, Unreal Engine, and C++, with hands-on work on prototypes and demos for class-based and indie projects.
I enjoy bridging creative design with robust engineering, helping teams visualize features, and delivering polished software on tight timelines. In addition to coding, I’ve supported recruitment and project management, and I’m always excited to explore new tools and approaches that connect players with engaging gameplay.
