What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable AI-driven content systems—hands-on engineering, automation, and cross-functional collaboration with emphasis on iteration, documentation, and measurable performance gains.

I am an AI automation and video systems developer who builds scalable, agentic workflows for content generation and analytics. I combine Python, TypeScript, JavaScript, and API-driven automation to deliver production-ready pipelines and interfaces.

I have designed end-to-end AI video production systems integrating tools such as Sora, VEO, Runway, and Pika, and implemented automation with n8n and Google Sheets. My systems achieved over 2.2 million cumulative YouTube views from AI-generated content.

I create reusable React + TypeScript components, RESTful backends with Flask/Django, and optimized data pipelines with PostgreSQL/MySQL. I emphasize prompt engineering, performance optimization, documentation discipline, and iterative A/B testing.

I enjoy cross-functional collaboration and educating teams on AI workflow development, and I seek roles where I can evolve scalable, intelligent, and self-optimizing content ecosystems.
