• Joined Retool in early 2022 as one of the first in-house full-cycle technical recruiters, when the company was ~120 employees with a ~30-person engineering org. I focused on hiring full-stack and front-end engineers and owned all infrastructure hiring across security, data, compute, and DevX. Our team successfully tripled the engineering org by the end of 2022, then shifted in 2023 toward senior-level+ front-end hiring. Along the way I exceeded hiring goals, helped improve offer acceptance across tech recruiting, and partnered with engineers to improve interview pass-through rates and outbound effectiveness.
