01 — About
The recruiter who thinks
like a talent architect.
I'm a Senior Technical Recruiter and HRBP with 4+ years closing hard-to-fill roles across Engineering, AI/ML, Agentic AI, Creative, and Go-to-Market. I've built complete recruiting infrastructure from zero — pipelines, scorecards, automation workflows, and university programmes.
My proprietary GitHub-first sourcing methodology — analysing commit history and repository contributions before any outreach — consistently delivers what traditional LinkedIn search cannot: passive, high-calibre engineers who actually convert.
At ImagineArt, I've hired for agent harness engineering behind ImagineComputer, along with senior AI, backend, frontend, product, creative, and GTM talent. I also created GitHub Scoutto make signal-first technical sourcing practical for other recruiters.
Before tech recruiting, I was a commissioned Lieutenant in the Pakistan Army, where I led teams under pressure and conducted psychological assessments for officer candidates. That discipline shapes how I hire today.
