+==== Topics Discussed
+
+* Alpesh walked through his hiring startup work under Cyber Unbound.
+    ** The team avoids LinkedIn APIs and scraping (policy and legal risk for a production company) and instead they enrich roles using third-party people-data providers combined with AI for JD parsing and matching.
+    ** He is working on automating the hiring process, including first outreach and initial screening interviews (covering basic security, GitHub projects, and coding questions). Later interview rounds will still be handled by the hiring company. There was also a discussion on making voice interactions feel more natural, using tools like link:https://livekit.com[livekit^] and link:https://elevenlabs.io[ElevenLabs^].
+* Lebyy shared his experience from a recent hackathon near Princeton, where he met someone from the YC ecosystem working on LinkedIn-style automation tools. He had started experimenting with an agent-based system for this but paused due to exams.
+* Brief discussion took place on study-abroad pathways for tech degrees, including exams, application timelines, and evaluation criteria.
+* Alpesh demoed a side project which is a Monkeytype trainer focused on cybersecurity commands and short explanations, aimed at muscle memory for shell and tooling workflows.
