Much of the content I produce is sensitive and copyrighted and can't be shared publicly. As a technical marketer for a commercial product a lot of the work I do is for the sales enablement and competitive advantage of my employer.

This is a small selection of the video work I've done. The majority of the videos I make myself are edited using open source tools like Kdenlive. For thumbnails I prefer simple tools and often use regular office software with visuals from AI applications. For sound editing I use Audacity. For closed captions [subtitles], transcripts, and translations I use open source tools and AI. For publication, statistics, and analytics I use YouTube. My current desktop OS is Fedora Workstation (Linux).
