I believe my biggest achievement is building a high performing team amongst a lot of chaos. I started as an engineering manager for replenishment team, soon due to restructuring I was asked to lead a different BU called Parcel and I was given the team from scratch, 8 months into this I heard the leadership is deciding to put Parcel on KTLO and give me a new tier 1 service called channels. This service was highly unstable with a lot of issues and tech debt. This service was transitioned among 4 engg manager in past three years (4th me). 

TASK

My job was to do a successful transition of this service and keep the team motivated

Actions

- When I got to. know about Parcel KTLO and having a new product under me, I wanted to ensure this is communicated to the team clearly with empathy and I wanted to ensure the team that this will only benefit their growth

- I started with a team meeting, shared a couple of wins that we did in parcel, shared even though we did so much, Parcel is being put on KTLO for various xyz reasons.

- I told them every crisis situation is an opportunity and by channels coming under us, we can showcase that even the toughest of the services can be maintained if the tech debt is continuously addressed

- Post team meeting I kept 1:1 with every member and listened them, helped answer their questions

- A couple of team members did share that they felt proud about what they developed in Parcel and were feeling sad that it was going in KTLO.

- I shared that products coming in KTLO happens sometime and this in no way reflects the teams performance, infact our teams reputation is very good amongst the leaders thats why they have given us the most important service (which is also in the worst shape)

- Under previous engg managers there was minimal to no improvement in the service on tech and product side because they were busy fixing on call issues

- I worked with the team to fix this by assigning ywo people to on call and rest two on fixing the issues from root cause. 

- In a couple of months this gave us brwating space since the oncall issues reduced directly impacting reduction in customer queries

- We got appreciated by leadership for this

Result

- Team members were highly motivated

- Learnt a lot

- Got appreciated by leadership for this hard works

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.

In my current role, there was a time when operation and engineering team was not aligned which was causing lots of delays during deployment. as per operation team build should be deployed in same branch which was available on pre-prod but as we were running multiple projects/features parallelly. it was difficult to develop and test everything in one branch and made it ready for deployment in a short time.


I had to work with my team (engineering team) and operational team to come up with a solution where we both are aligned and can reduce delivery time as well.


Initially i had proposed a solution when we were developing and testing work on feature branch and once its fully tested by QA on feature branch we push all changes to staging branch where we can do final testing. for some time this approach worked but we start facing new issue which is related to code merge as after merge features were impacting each other and require additional time to fix those issues and make it ready within planned time.


We added one more process if features/fixes are small and won't impact much then we merge else we try to plan deployment sequentially to avoid any further delay. 


This approach helped team to deliver project/feature on time and operational team was happy as they don't need to keep track of multiple branches during deployment.

In my previous role, I led a team to launch a new kit. The team included individuals from product support, segment marketing, sales, and customer support, and we were tasked with launch the product to market within a specific time frame to address a rising demand.

We faced the challenge of managing tight deadlines and aligning cross-functional teams with diverse priorities. To address this, I ensured that everyone understood the key objectives and customer needs, fostering collaboration and creating a detailed project roadmap. I set clear milestones and facilitated regular check-ins to ensure we were on track.

One of the biggest hurdles was getting buy-in from the sales team on the new product's value proposition. I worked directly with sales leaders to develop tailored sales tools and training materials, ensuring the team could effectively communicate the product’s benefits to customers.

By maintaining a clear focus on customer needs and empowering the team to collaborate effectively, we launched the product on time, surpassing adoption targets by 15% in the first quarter. This experience reinforced the importance of strategic planning, transparent communication, and making customer satisfaction a central part of the team’s mission.

Earning the trust of a team is essential for effective collaboration and success. I approach this by:

  1. Being Transparent: I prioritize open communication and honesty. For instance, during a project update meeting, I openly shared the challenges we were facing, which helped build trust among team members as they felt informed and included in the process.
  2. Listening Actively: I make a conscious effort to listen to my team members’ ideas and concerns. When a colleague proposed a new strategy, I encouraged discussion and incorporated their feedback into our plans, demonstrating that I value their input.
  3. Following Through on Commitments: I ensure that I meet deadlines and deliver on my promises. For example, when I noticed our team was at risk of missing a deadline on a key project, I took the initiative to reorganize our workflow, delegate tasks more effectively, and set up short check-in meetings. This allowed us to complete the project on time, reinforcing my reliability to the team.
  4. Showing Empathy: I take the time to understand the individual needs and motivations of my team members. By being supportive during high-pressure times and recognizing their personal challenges, I create a safe space for open communication.
  5. Encouraging Collaboration: I foster a team-oriented culture by celebrating collective achievements. After we completed a project successfully, I organized a small team celebration to recognize everyone’s contributions and strengthen our bond.
  6. Being Approachable: I maintain an open-door policy, inviting team members to share their thoughts or concerns. This accessibility helps establish a friendly atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable engaging with me.

By implementing these strategies and sharing specific examples, I build a foundation of trust that strengthens team dynamics and enhances overall performance."

S(Situation):在2024年9月底,我所在团队灰度上线了一个重要新功能。上线不久后,我们注意到产品的 NPS 分数出现了明显下滑。我的老板非常担心这个变化是由我们新功能引起的,因此建议我们暂停功能的进一步上线。

T(Task):考虑到我们灰度期间已经收到不少正向的用户反馈和行为数据,我担心贸然暂停功能会影响节奏,并可能误判问题根源。我希望找出 NPS 下滑的真正原因,并用更稳妥的方式推进问题解决。

A(Action):我首先分析了 NPS 下滑的时间节点,发现其发生在我们功能上线之前。结合用户评价存在滞后性的特点,我判断两者未必直接相关。随后我深入分析了近期的低分评价和客服 ticket,发现主要问题集中在打印出错、页面崩溃等历史遗留的功能性 bug。
我将这些发现整理成文档分享给老板,建议我们先优先修复这些问题,并继续观察 NPS 变化。同时,我也请他指出是否存在新功能相关的反馈痛点,以便一并跟进优化。我们快速完成了 hotfix,并验证后上线。

R(Result):两周内,NPS 分数从 xx 回升到 xx(如能填具体更好),我们功能也顺利推进至全量发布,后续使用量增长了 xx%。老板也认可了我们以数据驱动决策的方式,对我在这件事中的判断力和推进力给予了肯定。

During final stages of testing upgraded version of core banking applications, we encountered a defect which required resolution from development team. After dev deployed the defect, I had very limited time to thoroughly retest and perform regression.

My task was to perform retesting and make sure there are no major defects after the release.

After resolution, based on my prior knowledge of the apps I grouped those testcases that had a potential impact to run automation regression to speed up the testing. While I manually tested the defects with some edge case scenarios. 

I kept the cross functional team updated about the testing progress and the risk involved if testing wasn't completed on time. 

But, I was able to mitigate the risk of not completing the testing on time and major risk of unexpected issues with the help to prior knowledge and proactive communication.

Thus, I learnt from this incident to carefully strategizing the situation and collaborative approach can help to mitigate risks.

I look after our email platform and our existing solution wasn't flexible enough to handle targeted messages at scale. We were missing an opportunity with users to send personalised messages at the right time to help increase engagement. I embarked on a project to implement a new marketing automation software. This project required alignment across our product, data, retail, security and legal teams. I spent time researching the availble tools in the marketing and workshopping requirements with relevant stakeholders, we created an RFP and sent to a number of suppliers. Each round of the RFP I assigned a score to the company and gathered feedback from stakeholders. This ensured the decision making process was fair and we had strong evidence when sharing the business case to senior leadership.

Once we decided on the supplier, I was responsible for implementing the tool which required support across various teams within the business. Implementing something cross-functionally
