About

With over 17 years of hands-on experience in technology hiring, I specialize in the semiconductor and embedded domains, leveraging social media, headhunting, and creative hiring strategies. I have a proven track record of building high-performing technical teams (hardware and software) for Fortune 500 companies and startups. My expertise lies in leadership hiring, particularly in identifying and engaging top senior-level talent. A recruiter by passion, I take pride in strong work ethics and a deep enthusiasm for team growth and talent acquisition. I started at Tenstorrent Bangalore handling both recruiting and HR operations. Now, my focus is fully on building technical teams and driving hiring efforts for our RISC-V teams while also expanding our Metal and AI hardware divisions—exciting and transformative work in progress!
