Real-world stream testing, audience experience, sponsor-readiness evaluations
About
Full-time creator turned mentor who pressure-tests webcams during live runs. I translate lab scores into viewer experience and brand-readiness decisions.
Core Beliefs
Gear should make promises you can keep live, every time.
Background
On a launch stream, autofocus started pulsing right as I introduced a sponsor segment. I toggled to manual, finished clean, and debriefed the failure. Since then, I simulate stress—timers, chat spikes, scene switches—when testing webcams, and I weight autofocus stability higher in every review and recommendation.
Perspective
I weight live resilience and on-camera confidence over speculative features.
