About me
Introduction
Hello! I’m a 24-year-old with big ambitions for everything I do. My journey has been driven by a passion for quality and excellence in every mission. Over the past few years, I have crafted my skills at Alphabet Films through various roles, including Colorist, CEO, Client Relations, and Workflow Manager. At Soma Journey, my latest project I’m a Team Lead, Product Owner, Main Designer, and Co-content Creator. These positions provide me with strong knowledge across an extensive range of specialized skills. Still, my bread and butter has been Color Grading, this has been the heart of my knowledge and visual language as an entrepreneur.
Values and Philosophy
One of the things I value most is quality. I strive to produce the highest quality in the work I put out, the products I create, and the services I provide. I believe in connecting deeply with others, which is why I enjoy talking to open-minded people, listening to their experiences, and drawing inspiration for my future ventures from their stories.
Personal Touch
You’ll have to scroll down for that 😉
BLENDING ART WITH TECHNOLOGY
Artistry
Capturing and processing.
Doing creative work is one of the most soul-fulfilling ways I express myself. Whether it's for someone else or for my collective, it helps me stay grounded while maintaining a dream-like state.
Color Grading
I have been working on color grading for about 7 years now. It all started with a desire to enhance the impact of my videos and maximize the potential of my camera by using LOG profiles. Over time, color grading has become my favorite part of the creative process.
Light Capture
Photography has been a passion of mine since I was young. For me, it's about discovering a unique perspective through the viewfinder and capturing the energy of the moment. I enjoy photographing people, abstract light, and nature. I feel most comfortable and inspired when I go out with a clear purpose of what I need to capture.
Processing
When processing videos and photos, my goal is often to be invisible—as if I was never there. My mission is to keep the original capture intact, enhancing it just enough. In my approach, less is more.
{Self Hosting}
From Backend to Frontend.
I believe in owning my own data and services. By hosting 90% of the tools I use myself, I save both money and time, and I have full control over when things update and where the data goes. This approach allows me to create unique workflows where multiple services can operate on the same data, avoiding duplicates, out-of-sync versions, and manual labor.
Containers
Running everything in Docker containers has provided me with a deep understanding of the underlying system. Portability and simplicity are key benefits that make this approach invaluable.
Server
Utilizing Synology server software as the foundation has given me extensive knowledge of seamlessly integrating services and ensuring quick and easy access for both internal and external users.
Custom Hardware
Building all the computers in the business has equipped me with strong troubleshooting skills, allowing me to maximize performance and minimize downtime when issues arise.
Services
I manage a wide array of services including WordPress pages, password managers, media and file services, project management tools, company wikis, and booking software. Fun fact: the website you're on is also hosted on my server, complete with TLS certificates and highly optimized media.
Geek stuff
Deepdiving into optimizing file bandwidth over the internet is one of my many passions. I strive to ensure everything loads quickly while maintaining high visual quality, and I make sure files display correctly across various devices to preserve the integrity of the art as intended.
Visions
To do list.
While I have a strong outlook for the future, I'm also open to exploring different positions and gaining new experiences.
Team Lead
Being naturally selected as a team lead these select times inspires me to pursue it as a profession. My broad general knowledge of various professions gives me an edge. I believe in being understanding yet straightforward with people to ensure projects stay on schedule.
Post-Production Manager
As a colorist working with smaller budgets, I often oversee the entire post-production workflow and even provide mastering. This experience has prepared me greatly for future challenges.
Automations
When I find myself doing a task more than three times, I look for ways to make it more efficient and automated. This includes speeding up file delivery between different production stages to avoid delays.

I'm open to trying different positions that require skillful execution and creative problem-solving.
ABOUT ME // PERSONAL EDITION
I’m a fan of cold plunges, excercising, music, movies, games, tinkering. I have yet to settle on a certain position, that can fill my needs, but what I do know is that my ultimate goal is to provide great value and feel valued. Also, here are some pictures in no typical order.
