I am a film and video editor with more than 10 years of experience shaping feature films, OTT series, trailers, teasers, and narrative content. Trained at the Satyajit Ray Film & Television Institute, I bring a strong understanding of story structure, dramatic pacing, scene shaping, emotional continuity, and performance editing to every project. My editorial credits include work for Netflix, JioHotstar, ZEE5, SonyLIV, and theatrical release, including Rangbaaz S3, for which I was nominated for Best Editing at the OTT Filmfare Awards. I also enjoy exploring the creative possibilities of AI filmmaking and generative video. Alongside traditional post-production workflows, I develop AI short films, experimental teasers, visual concepts, and synthetic video projects using tools such as Kling, Veo, Midjourney, Runway, Higgsfield, Seedance, and Suno. I enjoy collaborating with filmmakers and creative teams to turn ideas into engaging, emotionally resonant visual stories.
