Why video is crucial in 2026
Developers want to see the full workflow, not just read about it.
Video builds trust by showing the product in action and the value it
delivers.
Video increases page dwell time
Embedded videos increase average session duration by 2.6x compared to text-only pages.
Google search and AI summaries are multimodal
Google now understands pages as more than text—combining written content, video understanding, and structured metadata.
YouTube gets 651% more citations in AI overviews
YouTube citations in AI Overviews are estimated to have grown by over 400% in 2025 and visual demonstration content citations rose by over 590%.
Explainers influence decisions
85% of people have been convinced to buy a product or service by watching a video.
I help you ship videos faster
Working with me is simple. You provide the source material—I handle everything else: scripting, filming, screen recording, and editing, with minimal involvement required from your team or engineers.
Start with approved materials
Already vetted docs, tutorials, and demos can become videos without a lengthy review process.
Minimal engineering input required
In-use assets are proven to work, removing the need for extensive engineering involvement and review.
Ship video content consistently
Establish a repeatable video production motion that can evolve and scale as your video capabilities grow.
Why teams trust me to produce their technical videos
Here's how my experience, skills, and approach allow me to produce technically accurate videos that build trust with developers—and confidence in your brand and products.
Full-stack + DevOps background
I’ve worked across development and DevOps, so I can quickly grasp most tools, workflows, and infrastructure patterns.
Low-touch engineering involvement
Most videos can be produced from existing content with minimal questions and a single technical review.
Developers can tell I'm one of them
I don't market your product — I show it in action using terminology and tools that developers understand and trust.
Deep product understanding
I take the time to understand your product and present it with the clarity and accuracy you'd expect from your own DevRel team.
High-quality production
I use commercial-grade cameras, microphones, and lighting to deliver video quality comparable to an in-house team.
Video in your brand voice and tone
I blend my conversational style with your brand voice and messaging, so your product is represented accurately.

FAQs
Answers to the most common questions teams ask before we kick off.
What kinds of videos do you produce?
I focus on technical videos used for developer onboarding, enablement, product demos, and customer success.
This includes documentation walkthroughs, feature demos, getting-started series, integration guides, and internal or external enablement libraries.
Sorry, but I don't do purely promotional or marketing videos (e.g., animated explainer videos or ads).
Do we need existing content to get started?
Yes. Existing documentation, tutorials, demos, or support articles that have been vetted and approved are required as a starting point.
If you need help revising existing materials or creating new content for video specifically, I can be hired at an hourly or daily rate for scripting and content creation.
What involvement do you require from Engineering?
In most cases, involvement is limited to async Slack questions when I need clarification on technical details not covered in the source, plus a final script review for technical accuracy.
The goal is to remove engineers from the production process as much as possible and to only involve them when absolutely necessary.
How does pricing work for this kind of engagement?
Most projects are scoped and priced as a fixed engagement based on the length and complexity of the resource.
If there are significant unknowns, such as incomplete documentation or complex technical setups, I may need a short discovery phase billed at an hourly rate before providing a scope and price.
How long does it take to produce videos?
Timelines depend on scope, availability, and familiarity with your products and domain, but most videos are delivered within one to two weeks of starting production.
The more robust your docs and environments are, the faster I can ship.
How do reviews and revisions work?
Scripts allow for three revisions before filming begins, and the final video allows for a single review with non-piece-to-camera edits only, e.g., screen captures, b-roll, and motion graphics.
Additional revisions can be accommodated at an hourly rate.
The key to minimizing revisions is ensuring all stakeholders have signed off on the source materials and script before filming.
How do you communicate and collaborate during projects?
I typically use Slack for async communication via a private channel with the required stakeholders and technical staff.
How much control do we have over the messaging and scripting?
As a general rule, I'm happy to use precise messaging about your product features and functionality and am open to feedback on tone and style as long as I can still present authentically.
Where I'll push back is on unverifiable claims or marketing language that would be unnatural for me to say or doesn't resonate with developers. If it's not something I would say, I won't say it, as then my trust and credibility with the audience is compromised.
In these cases, I won't just reject that part of the script, but will provide alternatives that aim to get the same point across.
Do you stick exactly to your script?
For piece-to-camera sections and parts where I'm explaining concepts or workflows, I generally stick closely to the script to ensure accuracy with your messaging.
For screen recordings and demos, I may improvise slightly to maintain a natural flow, but I'll always ensure that the key points and steps are accurately represented as per the script.
Can you help us establish our internal video production process?
Yes, and I often end up working in a consultative capacity once teams are ready to scale-up video production by leveraging internal staff and resources.
Whether it's advice on gear to purchase or coaching staff to be comfortable on camera, I'm happy to share my knowledge and experience to help you be self-sufficient.
My goal is not to make you dependent on me — but to quickly get you up and running with a repeatable process that your team can own and eventually scale internally.
