Explain how supervised and unsupervised learning differ, and ground the distinction in a practical ML example.
Explain how you prioritize competing work under time pressure while making trade-offs and keeping stakeholders aligned.
Share a challenging project, your role, the risks and trade-offs you managed, and the final outcome.
Explain the bias-variance tradeoff and how it guides model choice, regularization, and generalization performance.
Explain how you would prioritize competing engineering deadlines when stakeholders, business impact, and delivery risk are all in tension.
Tests basic coding ability and pointer/data-structure manipulation.
Explain how you resolve team disagreements during execution without slowing delivery or weakening trust.
Compare object-oriented and functional programming in terms of state, abstraction, side effects, and design tradeoffs.

Tests your ability to design rigorous experiments aligned to testable hypotheses.
Explain precision, recall, F1-score, and ROC-AUC for a classification model.
Describe how you translated complex technical analysis into a clear message for non-technical stakeholders and drove alignment on next steps.
Tests ability to analyze algorithm efficiency and communicate tradeoffs.
Explain how to detect and handle NULL values in SQL using filtering, COALESCE, CASE, and business-aware imputation.
Describe how you handled a difficult teammate while keeping a data engineering project on track.
Diagnose why a model is underperforming and decide whether the issue is thresholding, class balance, or a deeper data problem.
