Question: Tell me about a time when you assisted a colleague in his work. What was the result?

Answer:

Sure. I really enjoy helping others on the team, especially when they’re stuck and not sure how to move forward.

S – Situation:
Once, someone on a neighboring team was struggling with a production issue for a few days. I noticed that he seemed frustrated and wanted help, but didn’t quite know how to ask.

T – Task:
After finishing my work early one day, I proactively messaged him on Teams and offered support. He was happy, but mentioned he wasn’t even sure how to describe the problem clearly.

A – Action:
So I sat down with him and tried to understand the issue. He told me that after one of his code changes went live, a dropdown component in our shared UI broke — its layout was completely messed up, even though his change didn’t touch that component directly.
I helped him debug the issue step by step. After ruling out rendering or layout bugs, I noticed the problem was actually due to a CSS variable conflict — the styles weren’t properly isolated, which caused unexpected overrides.
Together, we fixed the CSS scoping issue and verified the dropdown worked as expected.

R – Result:
The bug was resolved and the fix was shared with the wider team via email, to prevent similar issues in the future. My teammate was really grateful, and after that, our collaboration improved significantly.

When buildling the next generation instance, during the planning phase I budget the amount of servers we will launch the product with. Given each server cost was over 2 million dollar I biased to towards frugality and provided a bare minimum number of server we could launch with. But what I completely missed was during the developement some servers will end up in bad state and the engineering team will short of servers to test the software and firmware getting built which made meeting the project timeline riskly and heavily dependent on delivery schedules of servers and them staying healthy. This quickly became a bottleneck that I realized. I quickly put togther a plan to request adittional server and provide a detailed breakdown on where and how these would be used during and after developement. Synced with the hardware and ODM team and executives to get a approval and ordered the parts to get the servers and racks build at ODM.
