About

A recruiter who speaks engineer.

I spent six years writing software, leading QA teams, and shipping payment systems that move millions of transactions. Then I discovered the work I love most happens earlier — finding the right people and giving teams the talent they need to build.

I screen technically because I've done the work. I write job descriptions engineers want to read. I close offers because I genuinely understand what candidates are weighing.

The result: faster fills, stronger fits, and the kind of placements that stick.
