Freelance colorist specializing in cinematic color grading in DaVinci Resolve, working across RAW and Log footage from major camera systems. I build manual, scopes-driven CST node pipelines and use LUTs selectively as a creative tool for consistent, monitor-independent results. I work on look development, primary/secondary grading, skin tone isolation, tracking, and shot-to-shot matching for filmmakers, ads and commercials, music videos, and social media content. I’m currently pursuing a B.Tech in Civil Engineering at NIT Kurukshetra while running an independent grading practice through direct client outreach and freelance platforms.
