I hire and mentor editors, lead the edit, and produce technical videos from research to publishing.
See how I lead production
At EarlyNode and ReactSquad, I built the video operation from the ground up, combining hands-on production with hiring, mentoring and publishing.
I created take-home assessments, interviewed candidates, reviewed their submissions and made the final selection decisions.
I mentored editors through feedback and quality reviews, set creative standards, and developed the production workflows and SOPs behind the work.

“I can say my time working with you gave me the most insight and skill working as a professional. Thank you Dawood.”
“Beast! 🔥 So grateful to be working with you 💪”

I designed the thumbnails across these channels and established featured-image systems for ReactSquad, EarlyNode and SocialKit.

View the Chrome extensionWriting, recording, editing and publishing my own YouTube videos shaped how I approach production today. I know what it takes to carry an idea through the whole process.
I’m also studying computer science. The creator tools above grew out of things I wanted to improve in my own workflow.
A video team to lead. A story to produce.
