About
The story behind the systems.
Over 20 years of designing post-production workflows, leading creative teams, and solving problems that keep producers up at night.
I founded Editor On Demand in 2006, at 19 years old, with a simple belief — that technical excellence and efficient workflows are just as important as creative talent. Two decades later, that belief hasn't changed. What has changed is the scale.
Today, my work sits at the intersection of creative storytelling and systems engineering. I design post-production departments before cameras roll, build media management architectures that scale across hundreds of hours of footage, and troubleshoot broken workflows when deadlines are measured in hours, not days.
From Sri Lanka's national broadcaster to Dubai's live event stages, from a German YouTuber's editing suite to Rice University's educational content — every project has taught me something new about how creative work gets done at scale.
