I am a Recruiter and HR Consultant with a rare bifurcation of expertise: I possess a Master of Science in Computer and Information Science (2021), yet my professional career has been dedicated to talent acquisition for industry titans like Uber, Amazon, and LinkedIn. While most recruiters rely solely on buzzwords, I utilize my technical acumen to evaluate candidates at a granular level. Whether you need a full-cycle recruiter to manage the pipeline or a strategic sourcer to find hidden talent, I offer a holistic solution. By The Numbers (Quantitative Proof): 10+ Years: A decade of experience ranging from agency environments to corporate support and Big Tech. 100% Job Success Score: Maintained across 13+ diverse Upwork contracts. 3 Major Degrees: MS in Computer Science, MA in Public Policy, BS in Marketing. 5.0/5.0: My aggregate client rating for sourcing, recruiting, and career coaching tasks. My Value Proposition My method is strictly empirical. I do not just "find people"; I use data-driven sourcing strategies to identify candidates who are mathematically and culturally aligned with your organization. Core Competencies: Technical Sourcing: Utilizing Boolean logic and X-Ray search to find engineers, data scientists, and developers that standard algorithms miss. Candidate Evaluation: leveraging my background as an Adjunct Instructor (University of the People, Jan 2025–Present) to screen for both technical aptitude and soft skills (English/Communication). ATS Proficiency: Deep experience with Beamery, LinkedIn Recruiter, iCIMS, Greenhouse, and Lever. HR Operations: From compensation analysis to drafting legally sound HR policies. Current Availability As of January 2026, I am available for immediate contract work. My schedule is flexible to accommodate US, EU, and APAC time zones. Let’s discuss how I can leverage my technical background to decrease your time-to-hire and increase your quality-of-hire.

Hello there, thank you for stopping by my name is Codie. I’m an HR professional who’s passionate about helping businesses create people-first strategies that actually work. With over 8 years of experience and dual master’s degrees in Health Services Administration and Employment & Labor Relations, I’ve spent my career partnering with leaders to solve tough workforce challenges and build stronger teams. I’ve handled everything from training leaders on the NLRA and coaching them to lead effectively, to conducting employee relations investigations, issuing discipline, and helping employees navigate those processes so they feel heard and supported. I also love tackling cultural issues within departments and turning things around so teams can thrive. Outside of work, I’m preparing to welcome a little girl in March, which inspired me to take on freelance projects where I can help businesses succeed while balancing family life. If you need help with leadership training, fixing team culture, handling complex employee relations, or building policies that actually make sense, I’m here to make it happen. You've found your new HR partner, let's connect and discuss how I can help you support you or your organization reach your goals!
