I build recruiting infrastructure — talent maps, screening pipelines, sourcing tools — so that the right candidates surface faster, and the hiring teams can spend time evaluating, not searching.

I find top researchers, engineers for world class AI organizations working on some of the most important problems — building reliable AI systems, ensuring their security, and thereby empowering people and companies to achieve more. Start with the talent map, build the pipeline, calibrate the bar, close the offer.

The work spans data-driven sourcing, RecOps infrastructure, and building the tools that tie it together — 50K-profile talent maps, LLM-assisted candidate triage, JD fingerprinting. Most of my time goes into making recruiting pipelines more systematic and less manual.

Built a 50,000-profile ML research talent map from 5 years of ICLR/ICML/CVPR proceedings. Harvested 100+ data sources — conferences, Olympiads, GitHub, Codeforces — into an 80K-record dataset at >90% accuracy. Vector embeddings for candidate matching, weighted scoring across 10 skill dimensions.

Scaled a recruiting funnel from scratch to 4,200 warm ML, SWE, and Quant candidates across 5 continents. Partnered with hiring managers at 13+ organizations to scope roles, calibrate bars, and close 26 offers across FAR.AI, UK AISI, and Apollo — securing 12 accepted placements.

Co-founded Secure AI Futures Lab with $250K+ via Schmidt Sciences and AI Security Tactical Opportunities Fund. Convening government, academia, and industry across India and APAC. Partnering with IITs and IISc on AI for Science, Social Good, and Trustworthy AI.

Managed the development of an AI evaluation pipeline (Claude API + Airtable) scoring candidates across 20+ binary signals with tri-verdict logic. Leading product for Measuremint — a voice-first career agent using ElevenLabs + Claude for AI interviews.
