About

With over 15 years in technical recruiting, I have partnered with some of the most recognized names in technology -- Meta, Microsoft, IBM, Crunchyroll (Sony), and Medtronic -- to build and scale high-performing engineering teams.

I specialize in architecting top-of-funnel sourcing strategies, optimizing hiring velocity, improving diversity representation, and closing senior-level technical talent in competitive markets. My approach is rooted in data-driven decision-making and deep market intelligence.

As a trusted advisor to engineering and business leaders, I translate complex workforce needs into actionable recruiting outcomes -- from fullstack and backend engineers to AI/ML specialists and platform engineers across cloud, consumer, and enterprise environments.
