Behavioral & Soft Skills Flashcards
Tell me about a time when you faced a technical challenge and how you resolved it.
In my Hotel Reservation System project, I faced a challenge where services were not communicating properly due to misconfigured RabbitMQ settings. The issue was in the exchange binding configuration. I identified the problem by checking RabbitMQ’s logs and confirmed that the services were attempting to communicate using incorrect routing keys. After fixing the configuration, I implemented robust error handling and logging to prevent similar issues from going unnoticed.
How do you approach learning new technologies on the job?
I approach new technologies with a hands-on approach. I typically start by reading documentation and understanding the core concepts, then I build small projects or features to solidify my understanding. For example, I learned Docker by containerizing a small .NET application before applying it to my larger projects like Imagizer and Conversion Hive.
How do you prioritize tasks when working on multiple projects?
I prioritize tasks based on urgency and impact. I use Agile methodologies, breaking down larger tasks into manageable sprints. For critical projects, I focus on tasks that bring the most value first, such as addressing any blockers or high-priority issues that can affect multiple stakeholders.
