About

Yep, you read that right, I spent six years as a carpenter before switching gears to become a tech recruiter in Berlin. Working with my dad on construction sites taught me a lot more than how to swing a hammer, it taught me the value of hard work, perseverance, and a good cup of coffee ☕. Those lessons stuck with me as I transitioned into tech recruiting, where I now help people shape their careers, hit their goals, and find roles where they can truly thrive. I still love building things, just now it’s teams, careers, and connections instead of shelves.
