About

I find AI engineers who can actually build. Not the ones padding their resume with buzzwords. Not the ones who learned Python last year and started calling themselves AI engineers. The ones who have shipped real products, deployed real models, and know the difference between a notebook project and production code. The AI hiring market is noisy right now. Every company needs AI talent and nobody can find it. Most recruiters make it worse by sending whoever has "AI" on their resume. Hiring managers waste hours in interviews going nowhere. I take a different approach. I learn the role, I understand the tech, and I only put people in front of you worth your time. If you are a company trying to find real AI talent or an engineer open to new opportunities, lets connect.

Most recruiters send resumes. I send engineers who can actually build.
I started Ship Talent because the AI hiring market is a mess. Companies are getting flooded with candidates who claim AI experience but can't ship anything real. CTOs waste months interviewing people who look good on paper and deliver nothing.
I only send production ready engineers. People who have actually deployed models, built real systems, and can do the work on day one. Not notebook projects. Not buzzwords. Real builds.
You don't pay anything until they're hired.
