Rey Abiva
This is my portfolio
I don't generate videos. I engineer them.
Cinematic ads, vertical UGC, product demos, avatars, motion graphics. I build them all, then I automate the pipeline that keeps them coming. One person, engineer trained, who does not need a new specialist every time your brief changes.
Protected payments. Real reviews. You approve the work before you pay for it.
Meet the architect
Who I am, how I work, and why "engineered" beats "generated."
Hey, I'm Rey.
I am a licensed Electronics Engineer who moved from circuits to cinema. Engineering taught me one thing that matters here: a system either holds together, or it fails.
So I do not treat your brief as a lucky guess. Send me a luxury product film, twelve scrappy UGC hooks, or an automation pipeline you have been putting off. Same person. Same standard.
- 01Any format you need, built to the same quality bar.
- 02Your brand looks like itself in every single clip.
- 03The repeat work gets automated, so it costs you less next time.
Three freelancers,
three chances to get it wrong
Your brief changes every week. Your roster should not have to.
One month it is a luxury product film. The next it is twelve scrappy UGC ads by Friday.
So you hire a video person, then a graphics person, then someone to glue it together. Three timelines. Three chances for it to come back wrong.
Meanwhile your ad account is hungry and your calendar is full.
I am one person who covers the whole range. And I automate the parts that repeat.
Whatever the brief is
Video, automation, and design. One brief, one person, one standard.
Cinematic to scrappy, same standard
- Cinematic brand films
- Product motion & demos
- Vertical & UGC ads (Meta, TikTok)
- AI avatars & cloned voice
- Narrative & story-driven work
Pipelines that produce themselves
- Content pipelines that run on schedule
- Automated ad variant generation
- Client delivery & reporting workflows
- Custom n8n & Zapier builds
- Vibe coding with Claude Code
- Removes the manual steps from your week
The assets around the video
- Marketing graphics
- Ad creative & static variants
- Large-format layouts
- Promotional & corporate design
Watch the pipeline run
Six stations. One signal. Every station is run by hand — prompt engineering is the craft; the AI is the instrument.
The blue pulse is your brief · the return line is me, refining until it's locked
"AI is nothing if the user cannot maximize it."
Short / Vertical / UGC Ads
Hook-driven AI UGC engineered for Meta Ads — built to convert in the feed, not to look good in a deck.

The work that
runs itself
Video is what you see. Automation is why it keeps arriving without anyone chasing it.
If a task will happen again, it should not cost you again. I build the pipeline once with n8n and Zapier, and your team stops doing it by hand. Podetize runs on this: client videos produced on a recurring weekly schedule, without a weekly scramble.
What you're
probably thinking
No spin. If I cannot do something, I will tell you.
- "You cannot be good at all of it."I do not use twelve tools badly. I use a focused stack I have tested to death. Look at the work above, then judge.
- "AI video looks cheap."Watch the Diamanti perfume film. Real glass refraction. Real fluid physics. It does not look like AI because it was not treated like a slot machine.
- "It will not match my brand."You see the creative direction before full production starts. Your character, your product, your look, held steady in every clip.
- "My brief is too unusual."Good. That is the interesting part. Send it and I will tell you honestly if I can build it.
- "I have been burned before."Hire me on Upwork. Your money sits in escrow until you approve the work.
You see the creative direction before full production starts. If it is not right, we fix it then, not after.
And on Upwork, your payment stays in escrow until you approve the final work. You are never paying on faith.
Engineering meets cinema
The same discipline that kept a rural ISP at 99.9% uptime now runs AI video production.
Circuits to cinema — the same bench
Before AI video, there was a company. Rey founded Ruralink Enterprises and ran it as Chief of Operations for six years — designing Mikrotik and Cisco networks, leading a 24/7 technical team, and keeping underserved communities online at 99.9% uptime. He automated the company's reporting and ticketing with n8n and Zapier, lifting operational efficiency by 40%.
That engineering discipline now runs his AI production work: directing end-to-end generative video for international clients — a 6-month production cycle for Podetize (California), a 12+ ad suite for Pre-Filters as Meta Ads Creative Lead, and full-cycle content and platform strategy for Fokus App.
He is a Licensed Electronics Engineer (University of Santo Tomas), triple Mikrotik-certified, and holds the Google AI Professional Certificate. Currently scaling freelance operations into Reygency, an AI production agency.

The generative stack
Generation, voice, and sound engineering. Focused, and tested to death. Hover any tool.
Google Veo 3.1
My main workhorse for both stills and motion. Native audio, strong physics, best-in-class realism.
Higgsfield
Where I go for controlled camera moves and stylised motion other engines cannot hold.
Runway Gen-3
Precise, director-grade control. Used for the shots that carry a whole piece.
Kling
Rapid variant generation when a client needs options in hours, not days.
Seedance 2.0
Strong motion coherence and multi-shot consistency. My alternate engine when a brief calls for it.

ElevenLabs
High-fidelity voice cloning. Your brand voice, identical across an entire campaign.
HeyGen
AI spokespeople and lip-synced delivery when a face needs to carry the message.
Descript
Sound engineering pass one: strip noise, cut filler, repair takes before anything ships.
Auphonic
Pass two: loudness targets and EQ balance, so your audio sounds consistent on every platform.
Adobe Suite
Photoshop and After Effects for the comps and finishing passes AI cannot do alone.

The automation stack
Different job, different tools. This is what makes the work repeat itself without you paying twice.
n8n
My main engine. Self-hosted pipelines that run your content production on a schedule.
Zapier
Connects the tools your team already uses. Fast to deploy, easy for a client to own.
Claude Code
AI-paired engineering for sites, tools, and scripts. Living proof: this entire website was vibe-coded with it.
The rig
behind the work
Local horsepower means I test ideas in minutes, not in a cloud render queue.
- CPUAMD Ryzen 9 9900X12-core / 24-thread, Zen 5
- GPUNVIDIA RTX 5070 TiLocal generation & render
- RAM64 GB DDR5Heavy multitask & local AI workloads
This is not a spec-flex. It is why your revisions come back fast. I iterate locally before anything touches a paid queue, so testing an idea costs time instead of money.
The actual machine — shot at the desk it works on

What clients say
Real words from real clients — used with permission.
Working with Rey has been a great experience. He consistently delivered high-quality video editing, shorts, thumbnails, and audio cleanup for both my Financial Roll Call and Living With Structure brands. He was professional, reliable, responsive to feedback, and always completed revisions quickly. What I appreciated most was his consistency and willingness to improve the process over time. He helped build an organized content pipeline that allowed us to maintain a regular publishing schedule across multiple platforms. I would confidently recommend Rey to anyone looking for a dependable video editor who communicates well and takes pride in producing quality work.
"Great AI editor."
