The recruiter
who builds.
Ten years, 500+ hires delivered across high-growth fintech, SaaS and enterprise. Most recently: founding recruiter at Sardine — 30 to 200+ people, Series A through C, the function built from zero. 95%+ offer acceptance, sustained. 100% quality-of-hire — every hire succeeded. Before that: embedded technical delivery for Apple, Google, Cisco, VISA, Walmart, Dropbox. And where the tooling fell short, I built my own — three products, live below.
United States
Home market for a decade of EST-hours hiring — Sardine, Medly, and enterprise delivery for Apple to Google.
The build side · 18 roles
Engineering, platform & reliability, data, product & design — hired from startup floors to FAANG-scale processes.
The business side · 21 roles
Revenue, customer, marketing and G&A — from the first SDR to legal counsel, FAANG to first-hire startups.
One discipline, six stages — but never one playbook. The structure holds on every search; everything inside it adapts — strategy re-set as the market moves, stages re-tuned mid-search, sourcing that changes lanes the moment the signal drops. The numbers stamped on each stage come from a decade of that re-calibration.
Global, full-cycle.
Direct, hands-on search across USA, Canada, Europe, APAC and LATAM — owning every stage from intake to close.
Measured on quality of hire.
Every search is held to performance in role — a 100% quality-of-hire record, with every placement succeeding long after the start date.
Partner to leadership.
Hiring strategy, org design, headcount planning and employer branding — with dashboards that give leadership real-time pipeline visibility.
Engineering foundation.
B.App.Sc in Mechanical Engineering, Poornima University · certified in Mastering LinkedIn Recruiter and Sales: Closing Strategies.
Tooling, implemented.
Selected, implemented and administered end-to-end: Ashby ATS, LinkedIn Recruiter, JobDiva, Fieldglass, Beeline VMS and AI-assisted sourcing.
Every function.
From engineering, product, design and data to revenue, customer success, marketing and G&A — all 39 roles mapped in the coverage board below.
Stood the talent function up 0-to-1 and scaled headcount 30 → 200+ through Series A to C. Staffed fraud, AML, compliance, crypto and AI-risk teams. Implemented Ashby, cut agency reliance, built leadership hiring dashboards. ChallengeA Series-A fintech with 30 people, no recruiter, no ATS, no process — hiring against banks and FAANG for fraud and AI-risk talent that barely exists on the open market. ActionBuilt the entire function: Ashby from day one, in-house sourcing replacing agencies, structured intake with every hiring manager, scorecard interviews, compensation aligned at the first call — and hiring dashboards so leadership saw pipeline health in real time, not in retro. Result200+ hires through Series A to C across every function, at a 95%+ offer-acceptance rate with a 100% quality-of-hire record — all of it worked from India on US nights: ten years of 7 PM starts and 4 AM closes.
Full-cycle engineering and product hiring through rapid scaling — quality held against aggressive timelines.
Technical delivery for Apple, Facebook, Walmart, Dropbox and PG&E — engineering, cloud, data, infrastructure. High-volume, multi-account, VMS-governed (JobDiva, Fieldglass, Beeline).
Specialized cloud, cybersecurity and data hiring for Cisco, Verizon, KPMG, VISA and Google. Built passive pipelines for hard-to-fill roles; mentored junior recruiters.
Full-cycle IT recruiting for US enterprise clients — Boolean sourcing to offer negotiation and onboarding.
Where the mechanical engineering started — project planning at one of India's largest integrated steel producers. B.App.Sc, Mechanical Engineering, Poornima University.
DeltaflowHR is an offer & onboarding management platform for People teams: structured compensation, automated approval chains, and an interactive offer page with live equity vesting — instead of a PDF.
