About

Strategic, results-driven Tech Talent Recruiter with 10+ years of experience building and scaling high-impact engineering teams for global SaaS companies, startups, and unicorns. I specialise in foundational and scale-stage hiring across cloud-native platforms, APIs, distributed systems, backend engineering (Go), DevOps, SRE, and platform teams. Currently building foundational engineering hiring for Kong Inc.’s Bangalore office, partnering directly with global VPs and leadership to build teams from the ground up and shape long-term talent strategy in India. My work focuses on attracting senior, high-caliber engineers who thrive in open-source, microservices, and high-growth product environments. Previously at Databricks and Infoblox, I have successfully scaled teams across Engineering, Product, IT, GTM, Customer Success, Global Operations, and G&A, hiring from early-career talent through Staff, Principal, and Leadership roles. I’m known for building trusted stakeholder partnerships, influencing org design, and driving business outcomes through data-driven, high-signal hiring strategies. I bring a deep understanding of engineering orgs, technical roles, and product-led growth, combined with a hands-on, founder-mindset approach to talent acquisition.
