Describe an experience you have when you have led a team.
Software EngineerFull Stack Software EngineerProgram ManagerFrontend Engineer

Texas Instruments

Zoho

Ironclad

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.

Describe a time when you disagreed with a performance rating you received.

During my tenure at Cisco, I participated in a project where I collaborated with a devops team and testing team to accomplish the resource allocation . At the end of the project, each intern received an evaluation from our direct supervisor. I was surprised to find that my performance rating was lower than I expected, given the contributions I felt I had made.

Task:I wanted to understand the basis for the rating and felt it was important to clarify any discrepancies between my self-assessment and the supervisor’s perception. My goal was to maintain a positive relationship while advocating for the work I had done.

Action:I requested a brief, one-on-one meeting with my supervisor. In that meeting, I calmly listened to their feedback to understand their perspective fully. Then, I shared specific examples of my contributions:

  • How I had taken the lead on documenting the current resource allocation and new resource allocation based on my experience.
  • My involvement in proper resource allocation resulted in 25% reduction of P1 issues due to resource allocation.
  • The additional responsibilities I took on to get all resource approvals and helm script changes went unnoticed.

I also provided the documentation and metrics I’d been tracking to illustrate the impact of my work. By centering the conversation on factual evidence and outcomes, I was able to highlight aspects of my contribution that might have been overlooked initially.

Result:After reviewing these points, my supervisor acknowledged that some of my behind-the-scenes work wasn’t fully visible to them.  we agreed to have more frequent check-ins going forward. This experience taught me the value of proactive communication and documentation, ensuring that both my manager and I have a clear view of my responsibilities and achievements.

I’m my current role, during a core-team meeting I noticed conflicts between 2 team members, the MM and the EE. They were debating about why to include one component in the official BOM and discarding another one.

To understand their perspectives, I spoke with them separately in a friendly environment. The MM was frustrated because the EE didn’t provide any data or argument to discard the component that the MM suggested. This component had the same performance, was pin to pin compatible, and cheaper. On the other hand the EE explained he had bad experiences in the past with the component suggested by the MM and he refused to validate and qualify it to do not waste his time.

So… After being clear about the situation, I brought them together for a discussion and I emphasize to focus on the issue, not in personal discrepancies. Do, during the meeting, I encouraged both to consider the Project requirements, customers need and I worked with them brainstorming session.

Then, they agreed to meet with other stakeholders to get their inputs about these 2 components, they commit on a validation plan including both components. The one suggested by the EE as POR and the one suggested by the MM as alternate. They also agree to allocate 60% of the mass production volume to the EE component and 40% to the component suggested by the MM.

From my side, to ensure progress, I scheduled follow-up meetings with them to monitor their collaboration and for sure, I offered my support. Finally, both components are currently part of the product official BOM and these 2 guys improved their working relationship and communication.

I graduated in May 2024 and recently wrapped up my role at Bright Mind Enrichment. It was a great experience, and I stayed through my agreed-upon commitment.  At this point, I’m looking for a full-time opportunity that offers deeper ownership, long-term growth, and technical mentorship—especially in a full-stack environment like Atlassian’s.

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

I led a project to implement a new feature in our loan processing system aimed at reducing API latency for faster loan approvals. Midway, I encountered data inconsistencies and latency issues caused by schema mismatches between the new API and our backend services. To resolve this, I optimized the data schema mapping, streamlined query performance, and introduced Redis caching for frequently accessed data, which significantly reduced the API call frequency and improved response times.

I also collaborated with QA to parallelize testing, allowing us to catch issues early. By continuously optimizing our microservices with adjustments to load balancing and asynchronous data processing, we increased processing speeds by 20%. While the deadline was slightly extended, our enhancements directly improved loan approval times and were a solid technical win for both the team and the user experience.
