About

Talent Acquisition professional with 6+ years of experience hiring across engineering, product & project management, and design, primarily in fast-moving teams where priorities shift and timelines are tight.I’ve handled end-to-end hiring independently — working with founders and business stakeholders to clarify what they actually need, sourcing and screening candidates, running interview loops, and closing roles while keeping candidate drop-offs low. Much of my work has involved building hiring processes from scratch and then fixing them as scale and complexity increased.Over time, I’ve focused more on how hiring works than just filling roles. This includes improving ATS workflows, setting up basic hiring dashboards, tightening feedback loops, and reducing friction for both candidates and interviewers. I use data, AI-assisted sourcing and selective automation where it genuinely saves time (shortlisting, follow-ups, prioritization), while keeping hiring decisions firmly human-led.What I care about most is hiring that doesn’t break when timelines are tight, requirements change, or stakeholders disagree — with clear role expectations, realistic timelines, faster decisions, and a candidate experience that reflects how teams actually operate.
