About
I'm Kosai, a developer, video editor and composer from Damascus.
At work I run the Odoo system for a camera rental company in Damascus. I write the custom modules, automate the accounting, deal with clients and investors, and shoot on location. Outside of work I edit short-form video for B2B and SaaS brands, compose music, and build my own tools, including the editor I use for all my edits.
