Hired 18 FDEs. All 100% still shipping.

Structuring engineering interviews around real code delivery rather than abstract brainteasers. I hire for taste, raw shipping speed, and extreme operational discipline.

01 · My thesis

Hiring shouldn't be Leetcode. It should be actual, orienting delivery.

The bet
Standard Leetcode tests measure memorization. A real engineer's leverage is measured by how fast they can orient in a foreign codebase, ship a small ugly prototype, and write a PR that matters.

I structured the hiring funnel and remote-work guidelines at ELO, growing our engineering capacity while keeping developer turnover at a record low. Every hire was evaluated against their capacity to ship real features under constraint.

I teach engineers how to speak business metrics. An engineer who understands retention, customer acquisition costs (CAC), and unit economics is worth five developers who only understand language syntax.

02 · Collaboration & Leverage

Open to chat & build along in the journey.

While my public portfolio does not display HR-specific software, I have scaled remote-first engineering workflows by 50% as ELO's CIO and hired 18 forward-deployed engineers with 100% active retention.

I understand team building, remote culture, and how to design systems that reduce cognitive friction for floor employees. If you are pursuing automated talent pipelines, sovereign worker databases, or remote HR platforms, I am open to having a chat and build along in the journey you are pursuing.
