Whatclass (formerly PLAYvirtuoso) is a Video-on-Demand music education platform focusing on electronic music production, DJing and Songwriting. The platform features courses and classes from a range successful artists and producers. As Video Editor & Content Producer at Whatclass, I worked across the full production pipeline, with a primary focus on post-production and video editing work. My responsibilities included editing a wide range of educational, promotional, and internal content, designing motion graphics, and handling audio post-production tasks such as mixing, cleanup, and sound design. I also contributed to pre-production planning and scripting, and supported on-location shoots as a DIT. Alongside my core production duties, I was involved in developing early-stage AI tools to explore automation and efficiency in creative workflows. I played a key role in preparing content for one of the company’s biggest milestones: launching video courses on Spotify. Throughout my time at Whatclass, I collaborated with both internal teams and external freelancers, adapting to fast-changing briefs and maintaining high creative standards under tight deadlines.

I assist with the training of experimental/cutting edge AI models (LLM's and Video/Image) for various companies and clients. This helps to ensure their outputs are accurate, relevant, and consistently in line with safety guardrails before public release.

At Crealon, I worked across multiple channels, with my main focus on a true-crime channel that I helped grow from launch to over 150,000 subscribers. My role involved building edits from the ground up using supplied scripts, sourcing and integrating relevant archive footage, stock footage, motion graphics, and MOGRTs. I handled colour grading to match the tone and atmosphere of each story, and took care of sound design (including background music selection, audio clean-up, and repair) to create a cohesive, engaging final product. I also shaped pacing and structure according to YouTube best practices for viewer engagement and retention.
