Screenwriter and video editor with credits across narrative short films, documentary post-production, and original company productions. I combine a writer’s instincts for story structure with hands-on editorial craft, delivering work end-to-end from script development through final cut. I’m also developing fluency in AI-assisted creative tools and AI-driven information retrieval, including RAG/GraphRAG approaches, semantic search pipelines, and NLP-based content systems—bridging storytelling and data to build compelling knowledge and media experiences.
