What I do

Production

  • Ideation and packaging. Pitched concepts one-on-one with the creator. Most video ideas ran through me or a small core team.
  • Shortform end to end. Scripting, editing, and publishing across YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Instagram Reels.
  • On-site production. Filming, multi-cam recording, and structured review rounds.
  • Audience analytics. Retention, swipe-through, and outlier research in YouTube Studio.
  • Premiere Pro
  • After Effects
  • Photoshop
  • Frame.io
  • Notion
  • YouTube Studio

Development

  • BS in Computer Science, University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2019-2022.
  • Premiere automation plugins that auto-cut multicam edits from shoots with 16+ cameras.
  • A YouTube research app that surfaces outlier videos and compares retention and swipe-through across shorts and longform.

About

I started managing YouTube channels in 2021, while I was finishing my computer science degree at UW-Madison. The first channel I ran went from zero to a million subscribers in five months. I spent the next five years turning shortform into a repeatable system for the Socksfor1 network: pitching ideas directly with the creator, writing, editing, filming on-site, and reading analytics to figure out what actually works.

My degree still gets used. When production needed tooling, I built it: Premiere plugins that automate multicam cuts, and a research app for comparing retention across videos. I like problems where content and engineering meet.

I'm based in Charlotte, NC. I'm looking for a content team that wants someone who can own shortform end to end, or a software team that wants an engineer who understands audiences from the inside.

Let's talk.

Hiring for a content team or an engineering team? I'd love to hear about it.
