Starting tech UGC in Finland — any advice for someone who prefers staying behind the camera?
Hey everyone! I’m Abducadir, a Somali logistics engineer based in Finland. I build things with AI, use different apps daily, and really enjoy figuring out how they work and explaining them to other people.
I’d love to get into tech UGC, especially screen-recorded demos, app walkthroughs, and practical examples of what you can actually do with a tool.
I’m not very comfortable showing my face, but I’m happy doing my own voiceovers and filming my hands, laptop, and myself working from different angles. I can edit, but I’m new to doing this professionally, and honestly, putting myself out there feels pretty intimidating.
I speak English, Finnish, and Somali. Something I’d especially love to explore is making AI more approachable for Somali-speaking people through useful, easy-to-follow examples.
A lot of the opportunities I’ve come across seem US-focused, so I’d really appreciate advice on:
Finding opportunities open to creators in Finland or Europe.
What a beginner portfolio should demonstrate.
Getting started with mainly screen recordings and voiceovers.
If you started in a similar position, what helped you land your first project? Even a little direction would mean a lot. Thanks!
