I’m a Technical Recruiter with 13+ years of experience helping startups and growing companies hire the right people across tech, product, leadership, and business functions. Over the years, I’ve worked closely with founders, hiring managers, and fast-moving teams to solve hiring challenges, build recruiting processes, and scale teams in practical ways — not just fill roles. My background includes technical recruiting, sourcing strategy, executive hiring, LinkedIn recruiting, remote hiring, and recruitment operations across startups and global companies. Alongside recruiting, I’ve also been exploring AI-enabled digital product building and workflow-driven business ideas. I enjoy turning operational problems into simple, usable products and experimenting with modern AI tools to build faster and validate ideas quickly. I’m especially interested in working with startups where hiring, product thinking, and business growth often go hand in hand. If you’re looking for someone who understands both people and startup execution, I’d be happy to connect.
