Talent operator focused on building hiring systems for early-stage, technical teams where traditional recruiting just doesn’t work. Most of my work has been around figuring out how to find and engage candidates that don’t show up in normal pipelines using a mix of ecosystem mapping, community-driven sourcing, and more recently AI-assisted workflows. I’ve worked closely with founders and engineering teams to build pipelines from zero, define what “good” actually looks like, and improve hiring quality in messy, high-ambiguity environments. A lot of this came from frustration with how ineffective standard sourcing is, so I started building my own tools and systems to make it better.
