Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEvan Strasnick is a Senior Technical Designer with a PhD in Computer Science from Stanford and a decade of experience bridging research, design, and engineering to create fluid, memorable interactive systems. He has led interdisciplinary projects at Meta and Microsoft Research and now brings that expertise to Hypixel Studios, specializing in prototyping novel inputs, feedback, and tools that let creators inspect and manipulate complex behavior. Equally comfortable writing robust frameworks and crafting playable interactions, he blends academic rigor in HCI with practical experience shipping AR/VR and mixed-reality demos. Evan’s work often focuses on tooling—debuggers, inspector UIs, and ML-driven pipelines—that shorten the loop between designer intent and system behavior. Notably, his research into haptic links and shape-changing interfaces highlights a recurring interest in making physical feeling and context-aware feedback central to virtual experiences.
