I cut stories
people finish.

Editor and cinematographer with 14 years behind the timeline. I've run a weekly YouTube operation, cut brand campaigns for Uber and Office Depot, edited live concert footage for Thirty Seconds to Mars, and now make documentaries across three languages with an AI-assisted pipeline I built myself.

How I edit now

Craft first, AI where it earns it

The machines take the hours that don't need taste. I keep the decisions that do: what stays, what goes, and when the cut lands.

01TranscribeMultilingual transcripts and subtitles in ElevenLabs, including Spanish and Tajik.
02SelectPull the strongest moments from the transcript before scrubbing a single clip.
03AssembleStory and pacing in DaVinci Resolve Studio, Premiere or Final Cut.
04GenerateAI voiceover, plus Kling and Higgsfield for shots a camera couldn't get.
05FinishGrade, mix, type and motion. The part that still has to be done by hand.
06ShipCutdowns for every platform, thumbnails and titles that get the click.
