I've edited Netflix's four-episode documentary miniseries El Portal and the Cuba-Colombia feature El Regresado, coordinating final deliveries across sound, color, VFX, and graphic design.

As First Assistant Editor on Jonás Cuarón's Campeón Gabacho, I managed editorial exports, post-production deliveries, and remote collaboration between New York, London, and Mexico City using Avid Media Composer and SalonSync. I also founded Cocuyo Media Lab, teach editing and post-production design at the University of the Arts of Cuba, and have supported DCP mastering for films exhibited at Sundance, Sheffield, DOC NYC, and Mar del Plata.
