Principal Consultant

As a Principal Recruitment Consultant at Signify, I spearhead hiring for full-stack, backend, and frontend engineering roles, with a focus on Ruby on Rails and Hotwire (Turbo/Stimulus) ecosystems. With 3 years of specialized experience in RoR recruitment, I partner with pre-seed to Series A startups across North America to build high-performing engineering teams. My role centers on connecting innovative companies with top-tier talent who thrive in the fast-paced, ambiguous environments of early-stage ventures. I’ve successfully placed over 40 Ruby on Rails engineers in dynamic startups spanning fintech, med-tech, SaaS, legal tech, e-commerce, and AI/ML sectors.

My approach emphasizes aligning candidate expertise with the unique needs of founders, ensuring teams are equipped with engineers who bring both technical excellence and a startup mindset defined by speed, ownership, and adaptability.
