Video engineer for LED, projection, media art and live show control.

I build the technical side of a show so the creative side lands on cue. That means media servers, timecode, OSC automation, signal routing and data-driven graphics, all running live at events and esports broadcasts.

Now: Kolla Team at Exness, Cyprus. Before: FISSURE, Belgrade. PIXERA Certified Operator.

Fissure Playground

Tier-1 Counter-Strike and Dota 2 shows, plus the BB Dacha tournaments before them.

Role: Visual Systems Operator & Show Control Engineer
Employer: FISSURE
Years: 2024–2025
Stack: PIXERA + Lua, Barco E2 Gen 2, OBS workstations, Bitfocus Companion

Overview

Arena shows for Tier-1 Counter-Strike and Dota 2 tournaments. Over one season I rebuilt the screen signal chain, put light, sound, video and effects on one sync system, and moved the on-screen graphics from pre-made files to live data.

What I did

FPG Dota. Built a new video signal chain for the screens from scratch, using lessons from BB Dacha, and introduced one sync system for light, sound and screens.
FPG CS. Built a title controller together with teammate Alexander. It drives the Map Veto and Next Map scenes: pick two teams and the scene is ready with team logos, picked maps, CT sides, map score and best map.
One-button show. A single playback operator ran the scene sequence. Each press sent the right commands to the lighting desk, the media server and sound, so desync and human error dropped to a minimum.
Scripting. Wrote a large set of Lua scripts for PIXERA and ran the HUD to the screens from OBS workstations.

30 → 1minutes to build the Map Veto scene. Veto data arrives about 30 minutes before the match, and the controller assembles the scene in one minute.

1operator runs the whole show sequence. Light, media server and sound follow from one playback button.

0extra hardware for web-source versions of the veto scenes, which saved budget.

Water-tank pyramid

DMX Clenled, TouchDesigner POP operators and a custom GDTF parser

Role: Creative technologist: TouchDesigner patch and DMX
Brief: My manager: structure and reference animation
Year: 2026 · Cyprus
Stack: TouchDesigner (POPs) · own GDTF parser · DMX LED bars

Overview

A stepped pyramid built from IBC water tanks, each one lit from inside by DMX LED bars. My manager set the task and shared an animation of how the structure should look. I turned that reference into a working light patch in TouchDesigner.

What I did

POP patch. Built the patch on TouchDesigner POP operators, with every tank placed in 3D and mapped to its fixtures.
Own GDTF parser. Wrote a GDTF parser for TouchDesigner, so fixtures are patched from their GDTF files instead of by hand.
DMX patch and looks. Patched the DMX output and programmed the looks: full washes, chases by section, and the tetris-style fill from the reference.
Preview first. Checked everything on the 3D model in TouchDesigner before going on site.
