What I'm looking for

I'm motivated by impact and want to connect exceptional talent with purpose-led organizations where people can do their best work. I value cultures that prioritize collaboration, curiosity and authenticity.

At Commonwealth Bank, I partner with senior technology executives on hiring across Engineering, Product, Delivery and Strategy. I built structured hiring and interview frameworks for Chief Engineer and Executive Manager appointments, with role-specific guides and assessment rubrics.

At Up, I increased engineering team size by 25% and implemented Greenhouse. Across Cash App and Grubhub, I recruited technical talent across multiple markets and contributed to Indigenous scholarship and early-career programs.
