## What I'm looking for

```text
I'm looking to lead technical talent acquisition for engineering and product organizations, partnering with hiring leaders on workforce planning, targeted sourcing, talent intelligence, and high-quality candidate experiences.
```

## About

```text
I've led technical recruitment for Microsoft Azure engineering organizations, hiring Software Engineer II and Senior Software Engineers across Cloud, Distributed Systems, Data Engineering, Data Analytics, Security, SRE, Compute, Storage, and Networking.

I deliver end-to-end hiring strategies—from direct sourcing and passive-candidate engagement to offer negotiation and onboarding—and have achieved 20+ engineering hires per quarter with an average time-to-fill below 25 days. I use EightfoldAI, LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean Search, GitHub sourcing, talent mapping, and recruitment analytics to improve pipeline quality and hiring velocity.

I've also managed client delivery and mentored teams of up to six recruiters, delivering 25+ placements per month across technology recruitment. I partner closely with engineering leaders and business stakeholders on workforce planning, market intelligence, compensation benchmarking, and candidate experience.
