My Work

SwiftSignl / JoBound
Founder & CTO
Dec 2025 - Present
  • Founded SwiftSignl and built JoBound around a hiring-market gap: most job tools surface listings after the highest-leverage application window has passed.
  • Built a scraping system across 20+ ATS integrations that normalized most jobs in under 2.5 minutes despite inconsistent schemas and rate limits.
  • Built a low-cost pipeline to discover ATS customer lists programmatically, turning source expansion into a repeatable acquisition system.
  • Shipped the full platform, including a website, two apps, an API, and a local AI server, on near-zero spend; iterated directly from user observation and feedback.
  • Grew paying subscribers through word-of-mouth. Users reported more screening calls, and one early user landed a role within a month.

  • Shipped two 0-to-1 products under investor pressure: Onbrand's PLM two months early, and Trayd's v1 ahead of YC Demo Day, contributing to a $15M raise.
  • At Sayari, split a 2-repo monolith into 6 scoped sub-repos with shared libraries and API contracts, improving velocity and cross-team collaboration.
  • Traced a rendering bug to a custom tab component conflicting with React's lifecycle, reducing reported bugs by 6%.
  • Improved Sayari's data quality by fixing pipeline representation and tightening AI reinforcement standards, cutting data-trust bug reports by 13%.
  • Turned around Qloo's delivery by stabilizing regressions, introducing TypeScript, and re-focusing planning, increasing throughput by 45%.

  • Cut PR turnaround from 2 weeks to 4 days by redistributing review ownership and enabling internal approval.
  • Shifted Identity team from siloed projects to cross-functional squads, improving knowledge sharing, throughput, and risk.
  • Standardized first-party portal apps on progressive delivery with custom signals, release gates, and ring-based rollouts.
  • Hardened Azure AD app security post-SolarWinds by locking down sensitive configurations, reducing attack surface.
