I turn chaos into execution.
I'm 25, I don't have a formal degree, but I have results. I currently lead the Placements Department at Brototype—a powerhouse of 20 people helping companies build their tech teams from the ground up. I'm an operations strategist obsessed with B2B pipelines, and my style is direct, data-driven, and intensely people-focused.

How I Operate
Turning ambiguity into execution. My mental models for scaling teams, automating workflows, and building profitable systems.
Systems Thinking
I don't fix problems, I fix the system that caused them.
Operational Leverage
If you have to do it twice, automate it.
Hiring Psychology
Resumes are noise. Behavior is signal.
Product Execution
Fast execution beats perfect planning.
The Trajectory
Head of Placements
Leading a team to match talented developers with amazing companies. Operating as a tech talent matchmaker to connect the right people with the right opportunities, keeping pipelines fun and efficient.
Lead of Corporate Relations
The go-to person for building corporate relationships. Grew the business, generated leads, and sealed deals to ensure companies found the exact talent they needed.
Corporate Relations Officer
Managed recruitment projects and built strong relationships to ensure companies got the developers they needed. Blended research, communication, and heavy execution.
Full-Stack Developer
Learned the ropes of full-stack development (React, Node, APIs). Realized the power of engineering as leverage while building projects from scratch.
Founder
Started a non-conventional ed-tech platform from the ground up. Handled everything from business development to marketing, built a team, and shipped products.
Things I'm unusually good at
Ideas & Content
When I'm not matching top-notch developers, I'm creating content on job hunting, market trends, and what employers actually expect in the real world.
Behind the Screen
A piece of advice changed my entire career: "First impression lasts."
No Degree, Just Execution
I entered the tech space as a high secondary graduate with no formal degree. I had to prove I belonged. I learned full-stack development, but quickly realized my real leverage was in operations and global talent acquisition. I don't wait to be told what to do; I make sure my impact speaks for itself.
The "First Impression" Rule
Early on, my mentor told me on a cab ride home: "Work like you own the place. Eventually, no one will even ask you about your work, because the impact you create early on will tell them you're the one who gets things done." That stuck with me, and it's how I operate every single day.
