## About

```text
Since 2018, I’ve edited performance ad creatives, short-form videos, and YouTube content as a freelance video editor. I work from raw footage to final export, shaping hooks and pacing with retention in mind.

For my own clients, I managed Meta (Facebook & Instagram) ads and produced and A/B tested video creatives. I used campaign data to improve creative performance with a focus on ROI.

As a Generative AI Developer, I’ve trained custom LoRA models for consistent characters and built automated pipelines that turn scripts into vertical videos with voiceover and subtitles. I also create motion graphics and use AI tools for video and image generation, voiceover, and upscaling.
