Sample Answer
I noticed a spike in crashes affecting about 0.4% of our active users (~8k/day) concentrated on older Samsung and Xiaomi phones. I triaged the issue by filtering crash logs in Sentry to device models and OS versions, then reproduced it using Firebase Test Lab devices and a set of recorded failing responses. The root cause was unexpected nulls and a missing field in a nested JSON array that our Gson adapters assumed non-null. I pushed a hotfix: defensive parsing with Moshi's nullable types, a graceful fallback, and a retry with exponential backoff. We phased rollout via Play Store staged releases to 5% then 50% then 100% over 24 hours, monitored crash rate (dropped from 18% of that cohort to <0.1%) and rolled back instantly if needed.

In your civil engineering studies, what specific design coursework or project work did you complete related to irrigation channels or canals (e.g., design of lined/unlined canals, distributaries, minors)? Describe one such design in detail, including how you determined discharge, permissible velocity, section dimensions, and lining choice for Gujarat-type soil and climate conditions.
On your resume you mention working on a cross-functional project (e.g., involving multiple teams or stakeholders). Describe a situation from that project where priorities conflicted—how did you navigate the trade-offs and what was the final outcome?
