About

I’m Ismail Yahaya, a detail-focused freelance video editor and transcriptionist with 3.5 years of experience helping creators make their videos clearer and more engaging. I work by listening to raw audio and video, producing precise subtitles/captions, and aligning text accurately to the timing so audiences can follow along effortlessly.

I also translate and proofread content between English and Hausa, ensuring the local meaning and grammar stay natural and consistent. Alongside my editing work, I’ve moderated and managed community communications for a large online community, handling support requests and creating announcements and documentation in clear, professional English.
