Deep technical assessment across the full engineering stack.

Every interview is tailored to your specific role and seniority. I assess real engineering judgment — not memorised textbook answers.

Backend Engineering

I go deep on system design, data structures, API architecture, concurrency, and production-level problem solving. I reveal candidates who truly understand the fundamentals versus those who have rehearsed surface-level answers.

Cloud & Infrastructure

Practical cloud knowledge — not certification trivia. I assess architecture trade-offs, security posture, infrastructure-as-code, cost optimisation, and the operational maturity needed to own production systems.

Databases & Data Modelling

The area where most engineers are weakest. I evaluate query design, indexing strategy, normalisation, transaction handling, and the judgment to select the right persistence approach for the problem at hand.

Full Stack Assessment

A comprehensive end-to-end assessment covering frontend, backend, database, and deployment. Ideal for senior or lead roles where breadth of knowledge and architectural thinking matter as much as depth.

About me

An interviewer who has built the systems your candidates claim to know.

I am a senior software engineer with over 18 years building production systems across backend, cloud, and data at large enterprise engineering organisations. I have made hiring decisions myself, and I have seen the damage a mis-hire causes a team.

I started TechProctor because most engineering teams do not have the bandwidth to run truly rigorous technical interviews at scale. A great engineer is not automatically a great interviewer. And an interviewer who has not worked with your stack cannot assess it with the depth it deserves.

My interviews go beyond textbook problems. I present real-world scenarios, probe the reasoning behind answers, and distinguish between engineers who understand their craft and those who have prepared well for interviews. Every candidate gets a fair, structured, and respectful experience — and every hiring manager gets a written report they can act on and defend.

"I interview the way I wish I had been interviewed early in my career — technically rigorous, grounded in real engineering problems, and always honest about what I find."

Depth over checklists

I go deep on the areas that actually matter for your specific role — not a generic question sheet.

Evidence-based verdicts

Every hire or no-hire decision comes with the specific technical evidence that supports it.

Respect for candidates

Rigorous does not mean adversarial. Every candidate gets a fair, structured, and human experience.

Fast turnaround

Written reports delivered within 24 hours of the interview. Your hiring process never stalls.
