What I'm looking for

I’m looking to partner with early and mid-stage engineering teams where I can own full-cycle technical recruiting—JD optimization, sourcing, and offer management—across systems, hardware, and AI/ML, in a remote-first, data-driven, asynchronous hiring environment.

I’m a results-driven Senior Technical Recruiter with 25+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, specializing in systems software, hardware, enterprise software, and AI/ML engineering talent. I partner with early and mid-stage startups in the SF Bay Area and Bengaluru—handling everything from sourcing to closing—and I’ve maintained a 90–100% shortlist success rate by translating complex technical requirements into targeted talent pipelines.

Remote-first by design, I’m especially strong in asynchronous hiring workflows and international candidate engagement. I’ve led technical recruiting for enterprise clients and high-growth startups, built passive candidate networks across Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, and Bay Area engineering communities, and supported hiring across levels—from Software Engineers to Directors—across domains like networking, storage, cloud infrastructure, embedded systems, and enterprise SaaS.
