I am the Founder and Principal Recruiter of a talent acquisition consulting practice, providing full-cycle recruiting support to startups, small businesses, and staffing partners across technical and go-to-market roles. I have partnered with third-party vendors and early-stage companies to fill difficult Software Engineering, AI/ML, Cloud, DevOps, and Data positions by building strong candidate pipelines through tools like LinkedIn Recruiter, ATS platforms, and outbound sourcing strategies. I've demonstrated impactful outcomes by helping organizations quickly address urgent hiring needs and consistently delivering qualified candidates within aggressive timelines while maintaining strong client relationships.

I served as the primary recruiting lead for highly specialized Machine Learning, AI, and Generative AI teams, owning the full recruitment lifecycle across multiple high-visibility initiatives. The role combined strategic partnership with senior leadership and hands-on execution, ensuring strong pipeline health while consistently delivering on both high-volume and niche technical hiring goals.

I worked within a global consulting and talent acquisition environment, partnering closely with internal stakeholders and outside vendors to deliver talent for revenue-generating teams. My role focused on managing complex hiring needs across Machine Learning, Program Management, and Software Engineering while ensuring project requirements and hiring priorities remained aligned. One of my key areas of success was consistently achieving aggressive two-week SLA hiring goals, demonstrating strong urgency, organization, and the ability to move quickly in competitive technical talent markets.

I partnered closely with recruiting leadership to identify and engage top Machine Learning and Mobile Software Engineering talent across major product organizations supporting apps like Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Oculus. My contribution focused heavily on strategic sourcing, passive candidate engagement, and building talent pipelines for high-impact engineering teams tied to core business and revenue-generating initiatives. A major area of success was my ability to build and maintain long-term pipelines of passive talent for difficult-to-fill Machine Learning and Mobile SWE roles via advanced Boolean search strategies.

Developed and executed full-cycle recruiting strategies across high-priority security and medical staffing initiatives, ensuring strong pipeline health and a consistent flow of candidates for urgent, business-critical programs. Coordinated candidate experience, and operational execution across both government security contracts and emergency medical response projects. Within armed security recruiting, I played a key role in supporting major DOS and DOD programs, including contracts tied to embassy protection in high-threat regions.

I provided strategic recruiting and workforce planning support for backend software engineering teams focused on automation, infrastructure, marketplace, and product development. I partnered closely with senior leadership to drive hiring reviews to monitor pipeline health, hiring velocity, and forecast attainment, while maintaining a 24-hour SLA on candidate outreach to deliver a high-touch candidate experience. As a co-founding member of the my team I was responsible for scaling the technical referral program at Uber, which doubled referral candidate satisfaction and improved referrer satisfaction by 1.5x. I also improved recruiting efficiency by implementing structured communication processes and training teams on immigration and visa policies.
