- Why I redesigned our React Native tech test in my first week I joined as Engineering Manager and one of my first projects was rethinking hiring for platform roles. The thinking behind the redesign, and what I built.
- How to pass a React Native tech test Practical advice from someone who reviews take-home tech test submissions. What actually matters, what doesn't, and the mistakes that cost candidates the job.
- How I designed a tech test scorecard that works from Graduate to Senior How a checklist-based scorecard made our React Native take-home test work for every level, and the design choices that kept it fair from Graduate to Senior.
- How to write a take-home tech test that candidates actually want to do Most take-home tests fail because of setup friction, unclear briefs, or disrespecting people's time. This is how I designed one that candidates thank us for.
- I built an app the hiring panel will never open From Notion to markdown to a React app for running structured technical interviews: three iterations to find a format that works live and reports cleanly.
