Sample Answer

I owned the frontend rewrite of a legacy dashboard used by 8 internal teams (about 400 daily users). I broke work into clear epics, estimated stories with the team, and set up a CI pipeline with linting, unit tests (target 80% coverage), and visual regression tests. I coordinated daily handoffs with backend via a shared API contract and Swagger mocks. Midway we hit a blocker: the legacy auth flow blocked feature testing. I implemented a temporary auth shim so frontend work continued, and paired with backend to replace it in sprint 5. We launched in 6 sprints, reduced page load from 3.8s to 0.9s, and cut bug rate by 65% in the first month.
