Skills & Expertise

The Skillset

Not a services menu — these are the disciplines I've mastered across four years of real commercial production in Australia and Colombia, for 6+ recurring clients in five industries. Every skill here has shipped finished, paid work — hover any card to see it in motion.

Editing, Colour & Finish

DaVinci Resolve Studio 21 as my primary NLE — multi-camera editing, offline to online, primary and secondary colour grading with custom LUTs, node-based Fusion motion graphics and VFX, and Fairlight sound design and mixing. The full finish, in one suite.

Cinematography & Camera

Panasonic Lumix S5II, professional lighting and SCORP 3 gimbal work, with on-location and studio audio capture. Multi-location shoots built for high-pressure, run-and-gun commercial environments.

Aerial & Photography

CASA-licensed drone operator (Australia) delivering commercial aerial cinematography across Greater Sydney, plus commercial, product, venue and real-estate stills — Adobe Lightroom and a full RAW workflow.

Social & Retention Editing

High-retention 9:16 for Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Facebook. Hook-driven visual storytelling — and I write the platform-native caption, title and hashtag set shipped with every cut, in English or Spanish.

Remote & Async Delivery

Proven fully remote, cross-border delivery across a 15-hour time difference. Frame.io review and approval, Notion and Trello tracking, cloud handoff via Google Drive, versioned assets and structured async revision rounds — bilingual English and Spanish.

Strategy, Marketing & AI

An accountant's discipline in production budgeting and cost control, digital-marketing and local-SEO fundamentals (certified 2024), and AI-assisted previsualisation with Runway, Midjourney, ElevenLabs and Kling — faster approvals, sharper direction.

Before you write

Questions, Answered

I've hired freelancers before, but the brand style gets inconsistent. How do you manage this?

I operate as a Growth Partner, not just a task executor. Before a single frame is cut, I analyze your brand's core messaging and build repeatable creative frameworks. This ensures that whether it's an Instagram Reel or a hero commercial, the visual identity, pacing, and tone remain unmistakably yours across every platform.

Are you available for remote, asynchronous workflows?

Yes. A significant portion of my workflow relies on Blackmagic Cloud and proxy integration to deliver precise, milestone-driven asynchronous edits for global teams across different time zones.

Can you handle the entire production pipeline to reduce our overhead?

Absolutely. I operate as a complete end-to-end studio. By funding and owning cinema-grade equipment (Lumix S5II, CASA-licensed drones) and executing post-production natively in DaVinci Resolve Studio 21, I eliminate the need for you to coordinate multiple freelancers or manage external rentals.

Do you need visa sponsorship?

No. Australian Permanent Resident with full unrestricted work rights.

What is your delivery turnaround?

Social edits in 3 to 5 business days. Hero brand edits in 5 to 7 business days. My background in corporate finance instilled a strict adherence to deadlines—delays and 'ghosting' are not part of my workflow.
