, I oversaw the entire post-production workflow, managing a large editorial team and ensuring every episode met strict broadcast and delivery standards. My responsibilities included resource planning, scheduling, quality control across all deliverables, and final sign-off of edits prior to client approval.

In addition to leading the department, I was hands-on creatively as both an offline and online editor on the series, shaping episodes from assembly through to final picture. I also edited and finalised all promotional material for the show, ensuring that the marketing assets matched the tone, pacing, and narrative quality of the broadcast episodes.

This role required balancing fast-turnaround television schedules with consistent editorial quality across hundreds of episodes, maintaining story integrity, visual continuity, and technical excellence at scale.
