Own the end-to-end real-time data platform for Tier-1 tournaments across four game titles (Counter-Strike, Dota 2, Rainbow Six, Rocket League). Systems deployed live at 30+ international tournaments, including the IEM Cologne Major 2026 (CS2 Major Championship, Lanxess Arena, 1M+ peak concurrent viewers) and the largest events in esports: IEM Katowice, Esports World Cup, Six Invitational.

Live telemetry ingestion: architected centralized Node.js event servers that ingest live match telemetry per title and act as the single source of truth for every downstream consumer during an event.

Proprietary data enrichment: built custom memory-reading modules that capture granular in-game data unavailable through official/public APIs, giving the production a faster, richer feed than any third party — the same speed-and-depth edge that drives live sports data products.

Computer-vision data capture: for titles with no API at all, implemented computer-vision extraction that turns raw gameplay video into live structured event data, reliable enough to drive stage integration in real time — the same class of problem live sports data providers solve when capturing events from venues without official feeds.

Low-latency distribution: engineered real-time pipelines pushing live player statistics and state changes to arena screens and broadcast graphics, keeping stadium audiences of thousands synchronized with the live game state.

High-frequency event handling: optimized the pipeline for rapid bursts of match events guaranteeing instant graphic updates and replay transitions under load.

Algorithmic decision systems: deployed camera-switching logic that drives professional vision mixers automatically from live game state — machine decisions executed on physical hardware in front of a live audience.

Zero-latency show control: connected live match data to stage FX (lighting, pyrotechnics) and Ross XPression broadcast graphics, triggered in real time by in-game events.

Built and maintained scalable backend services for high-traffic gaming platforms; designed serverless architectures with AWS Lambda and Python.

Implemented Redis caching strategies to cut database load and latency; managed MongoDB stores across fast-moving agile development cycles.

Built custom CRM templates to be used across multiple projects.

Maintained and debugged legacy COBOL applications for critical banking systems as consultant staff at Cetelem, translating business requirements into technical solutions alongside analysts — an early grounding in software where failure is not an option.
