StreamOverlayPro
Hello Everyone! Here StreamOverlayPro. I am honored by the opportunity to serve as tech team leader AND Stream Producer for Defend The North 2022! I am a software engineer with more than 15 years of experience in programming for frontend/backend applications. As my name states it. I am also the founder of StreamOverlayPro. I have under my belt more than 90 eSport productions in the east coast for renewed streams and events such East Coast Throwdown in 2019, events covered by NYCFurby under Team Spooky, special events such the SFVI stream provided by IFC Yipes last September, and many others. That said, I will be giving my best effort to provide to our competitors the best possible gaming environment in the PC Department with the assistance of my colleagues, and ensuring you have a good visual experience on the stream that I will produce. This will be my first time leading two initiatives for a tournament. I hope I perform under everyone expectations and to offer to our participants and audience the best experience possible.
