The biggest stream at the biggest event.
My big break came at the CS Paris Major in 2023, as the producer for ohnePixel. Over one week the stream passed 10 million views and was the #1 channel on Twitch, broadcasting the biggest Counter-Strike event there is.
We didn’t just sit behind a desk. We took the stream around the arena and out into the city, interviewing players, streamers, teams and fans. During the same Major I also worked with HEROIC and FaZe Clan.
Producer on the biggest stream, at the biggest event. It’s one of the things I’m proudest of.

What the Stage taught me
Carried into every room since- i.
Preparation is invisible, until it isn’t.
Hours of practice nobody sees decide the ten seconds everybody does.
- ii.
Pressure is a privilege.
If it feels heavy, it means it matters. Good.
- iii.
Watch your own tape.
Reviewing your mistakes is uncomfortable. It’s also the fastest way to get better.
- iv.
A team is a system.
Talent wins rounds. Communication wins games.
From the arena to the shelf.
Gaming is also the world FAIM was built for, one desk at a time. Read Book I.
