Adrien Hagelstein.

Belgian sysadmin. I keep the wires hot and the bits flowing — currently at EVS Broadcast Equipment in Seraing, where my passion for technology meets the world of live television. From the curves of Spa-Francorchamps to the slopes of Milano-Cortina 2026, I follow the signal.

The toolbox, opened.

Self-learning is the engine. Every free minute is a chance to pick up a new technology, a new firmware, a new way to keep a production on air. Below — what I reach for most.

Microsoft, Cisco, VMware, Stormshield, Hikvision, WISI, FlowR. Some I've broken. Most I've fixed. All have stories.
