About

Audio and video production professional with 25 years of experience across radio broadcasting, videography, and digital content creation.
I started as a radio host and audio engineer then spent nearly two decades as a videographer before moving into YouTube content production and podcast editing. Most recently, I served as Head of Production at a YouTube editing agency, overseeing end-to-end production and quality control across multiple channels.
Core strengths: audio post-production (mixing, mastering, noise reduction, EQ, compression), long and short-form video editing, podcast production, and YouTube content optimization. I’m a DaVinci Resolve certified editor and equally proficient in Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro, and standard audio DAWs including Pro Tools, Logic, Nuendo and others. I also work comfortably with AI-assisted editing workflows.
I operate from a dedicated home studio with a gigabit fiber connection, fully remote since 2023. Notable clients include Machine Learning Street Talk, Astrum, Impact Props, and Freight Caviar.
Available for freelance audio and video editing projects on a per-project or retainer basis.
