I run my own travel content channels across TikTok, Instagram and YouTube. I am happy to be given a reference video along with the raw footage and be told "go and edit now" and I will come back with something you are happy with, leaving you stress free knowing I am taking care of your video like I would do with my own content. I can help plan ideas for your next upload, come up with weekly strategies to boost engagement and grow your online following. Having great videos is pointless if we ignore the human factor: your audince! What I can help with: - Editing TikToks / Reels / Shorts - Adding captions and subtitles - Sourcing any background music (copyright free) - Improving pacing and flow - Planning content and growth I'm looking forward to being apart of your project and growing your channels along side you!

Hey, I’m Sid 👋 I build MVP SaaS products, data extraction systems and automation tools for solo founders and small teams. I focus on building production-ready systems with clean, scalable architecture and practical delivery so they can be used reliably and scaled without major rewrites. What I can help with: • Full-Stack SaaS and MVP Development: I build SaaS apps, dashboards, and internal tools from scratch. This includes frontend, backend, authentication, databases, and core product logic needed for a complete working system. • AI Integration and Automation tools: I integrate AI RAG/LLM features into web apps using APIs like OpenAI, Claude, and Gemini. This includes chat features, workflow automation using n8n/zapier, and AI powered functionality inside products. • APIs and Backend Systems: I design and build backend systems and APIs that are structured properly from the start so they can scale as the product grows. •Data Extraction and Automation: I have worked on multiple Upwork projects involving web scraping, data extraction using Playwright, Scrapy, and FastAPI, as well as automation pipelines. My experience includes structured data extraction from complex websites, PDF processing, and workflow automation systems. I apply this expertise when building data-driven products. Background: Before freelancing, I worked in systems and data engineering roles dealing with APIs, production systems, and large scale data workflows. That’s where I learned to build with structure first and also use AI as a practical tool to move faster and improve what I build. Best for founders who want to: • launch SaaS MVPs quickly with solid architecture • Turning slow page-builder sites into fast, modern web experiences. • turn early ideas into production-ready applications • add AI features into existing products • automate workflows or data-heavy processes • fix or rebuild unfinished prototypes into working systems If you’re building something and need it shipped properly, happy to talk. TLDR: You handle the idea, I handle the technical side end to end. All of it.
