Two things I love: Learning people’s stories and helping jobseekers. Here's how I do that: 

Professionally, I get to hire the world’s best AI/ML Staff Engineers at Google. If that's you, let's talk! 

Personally, I love helping my friends and connections get amazing jobs. If that's you, let's talk! 

More things I love: the San Francisco Giants, optimistic people, Settlers of Catan, the Enneagram, chunky babies, Lord of the Rings, and breakfast burritos.
