Where did you face a challenge in a previous duty where you had a great deal of responsibility?

In my role leading the launch of that new customer onboarding system, the pressure was really on. We had that tight three-month window and a lean team to build something that would be the first impression for all our new users. One specific hurdle we faced was integrating our legacy customer database with this brand-new system. The data structures were quite different, and initially, the data migration process was proving to be much slower and more error-prone than anticipated. This threatened to push our launch date.

To tackle this head-on, I didn't just delegate. I dove into the technical details with the lead engineer. We mapped out the data fields meticulously, identified the key transformation rules needed, and actually prototyped a more efficient data migration script using Python. This allowed us to automate a significant portion of the process that was previously manual.

Furthermore, to ensure we were building the right thing quickly, we implemented very short feedback loops. We'd build a small piece of the onboarding flow, get immediate feedback from a small group of internal users, and iterate based on their input. For example, early on, users found a particular step in the registration process confusing. Based on their feedback, we completely redesigned that screen within a couple of days, leading to a much smoother experience.

By getting into the technical weeds to optimize the data migration and by relentlessly focusing on user feedback through rapid iterations, we not only overcame the risk of a delayed launch but also delivered an onboarding experience that was significantly more user-friendly than initially envisioned. It was incredibly rewarding to see new customers move through the system so smoothly right from day one. That success really underscored the power of combining technical problem-solving with a user-centric approach

At hyperface we got requirement from product team to build a nudge engine, this will be a configuration driven engine and when a condition is met based on the configured communication pattern it is going to send the communication. Example : If user have done 5 transaction is flikart and an offer is going on to do 10 transactions to get a reward we will nudge user based on the communication channel and rules that nudge him on whatsapp this much time and send him the push notification.

When this product requirement came , product wanted to build each and everything as a single engine, but at that time I realized that having a separate notification service which will take care of all notification related stuff and we will be able to efficiently scale that system and prevent having a tight coupling  will be very helpful , but when I proposed this product did not agreed as they thought right now there is no usecase for making nudge engine and notification engine a separate component.

At that time I dicsucces this with my fellow EM and came to know that they are scenarios where they need to send notification for example otps , push notification and everyone is handling this in a custom way in there own code based . With all this data I went back to product team ann pitched them that having this notification engine all this custom handling will be gone we will have better mechanism to control notification  track metricies and and improve the experience by handling failure scenarios .

with this data I was able to convenience the product team to build to different systems.

At Auctane, I had a Sr. Engineer who was very harsh with Jr. Engineers in giving feedback. This led to Jr. Eng afraid of approaching with advice and team morale go down and productivity was down by 10%. I had to coach this teammate to not be hostile and instead approach people with Empathy and show ledership in asking the right questions and help them grown in their carrer as well - with this change in attitude, I saw that the team gel much better and the productivity increased overtime.
