Experience

Co-founder @ Huntyourtribe

Mar 2025 - Present

We are building HuntYourTribe!

As Founders/Startup fellows/HR leaders , we know Hiring is broken!

Accepting job applicants via Google forms, HRs emails makes whole pipeline even chaotic!

ActiveRecord is a very powerful tool and extensively used in most Rails apps. When working on application developement we might hit upon certain situation where we felt like "It would be great if Activerecord would have given us this". ActiveRecord as a framework solved many generic cases like scopes, callbacks, relationships to larger extent.
