About

Backend developer · Video production automation

I'm Rigel, a software developer. I build tools that take the repetitive work out of creative jobs, and websites that small teams can run themselves.

Most of my recent work sits close to video production: Premiere Pro panels that split, version and batch render edits, a recorder that keeps tutorial takes in sync with their voice-over, and desktop apps for syncing folders and finding media by describing it. On the web, I build sites with their own content editor for churches and missionaries.

Video is where I started, not where I stop. I'm open to projects in any field: internal tools, automations, APIs and backends, desktop apps or websites. If you have work that should take minutes instead of hours, get in touch.
