About

Hi, I'm Maithili.

For 13+ years I've helped engineering and product organizations hire highly specialized talent — most recently at Amazon Prime Air, recruiting the teams behind autonomous drone delivery across hardware, robotics, embedded systems, and AI/ML.

I see recruiting as both a strategic business function and a research discipline. Outside of work: painting, gardening, travel, and family.

Technical Depth

Hardware, embedded, firmware, robotics, AI/ML & autonomous systems.

Strategic Partnership

Trusted advisor to engineering leaders, up to VP level.

Scalable Systems

Operating rhythms, analytics & programs that lift hiring quality.
