Video and motion lead delivering premium edits with AI-accelerated pipelines.
What I'm looking for
I’m the Head of Video, Motion Graphics, owning the end-to-end post chain in Premiere Pro and After Effects—from edit through motion graphics, titling, graphic packaging, and consistent premium finishing. I’ve delivered brand films and campaign content for Porsche Middle East, including the Speed of Light launch (50M+ views in its first month) and Icons of Porsche (30,000 attendees over two days).
I shape rhythm and emotion with color grade and finishing in DaVinci Resolve, and I shape sound and music to support the edit. I also built an After Effects + AI pipeline that collapsed 800+ Ramadan version outputs (market x language x model) from three weeks to two days, and I’ve scaled high-volume editing systems with reusable After Effects templates and versioning workflows since 2019.
