Built and launched an AI-powered video editing assistant integrated into professional editing workflows, reducing manual editing time by up to 90%. Led product from zero to MVP, achieving early traction with 3,000+ waitlist teams, onboarding 12 enterprise pilots, and aiming for ARR. Architected a React frontend + Python daemon to process large video timelines locally and apply AI edits in real-time within existing editing software. Designed a multimodal video understanding pipeline (audio, events, visual quality scoring) powering semantic search, clip selection, and automated editing decisions. Built scalable data pipelines for video metadata, embeddings, and retrieval (RAG), enabling intelligent querying like object detection and scene understanding. Trained custom ML models on proprietary data to improve video understanding and editing decision quality. Led a team of 5 across AI, infrastructure, and full-stack, owning technical roadmap, system architecture, and execution while collab
