Video editor, colorist & developer

I cut and grade short-form video in Erbil, co-run a content agency, and build Flutter apps. Different tools, same instinct.

Biography

Understand how something works, then make it work better.

Youngest in a house where everyone else talked over my head, which taught me to pay attention and figure things out myself. That's stuck with me, and it's why the technical and the creative work have never felt like separate careers.

Day to day that means editing and color grading short-form video, developing mobile apps in Flutter, and keeping systems running as IT support. At Medico 2026, a four-day medical event in Erbil, my video was the highest-performing of the whole event — the grade held up against work from professional agencies.
