Owner of Engineering first Agency

I'm a technical recruiter with 10+ years of experience placing engineers, GTM leaders, and operators at high-growth startups from pre-seed through Series C. I run Staffing Simplified, a boutique consultancy built for founders and hiring managers who need the right person, not just a warm body.

What makes me different: I write code. Python, Go, JavaScript. That means I actually understand the roles I recruit for and can evaluate candidates on more than a resume.

I work contingency, retained, and embedded, so the engagement model fits your stage, not mine.

Based in Jacksonville. Fast, transparent, and allergic to fluff.
