1. What was the most challenging engineering project you've worked on, and how did you overcome the difficulties it presented?

The most challenging engineering project I faced was of implementing a UI(unit interface) automation tool, which can work irrespective of operating system type and specifications. Our difficulty was to implement it in a generic way, so we implemented all the API's with a generic approach supportable on all operating systems.

   

2. How do you present technical concepts to a non-technical audience during a stakeholder meeting or client presentation?

Whenever there is a non-technical audience, we present the user scenarios and the end result of technical things that we are going to do. Hence, the audience is able to relate better to the overall discussion.  

3. What type of engineering work do you have the greatest passion for, and why do you enjoy it so much?

I have a passion for doing work related to automation and artificial intelligence. Its the future.

4. What engineering resources do you use to stay on top of the latest news, technology and developments in the field?

We have the latest tech magazines(chip, DigitAll) and websites like GeeksforGeeks, Stack Overflow etc.

5. How would you manage a client or stakeholder who's pushing back on parts of an engineering plan that are in place for safety reasons?

I will explain how these safety plans are helpful when it comes to avoiding any sort of intrusion, illegal use or Hackable content.

6. What piece of advice would you like to give to future aspiring engineers?

To be focus and more clear about basics of whatever domain he/she chooses to be in. Once, basics are on-point, one can overcome any big challenge/problem.

7. Which is your favourite book and Why?

Steve Jobs Biography because this book gives insight into the challenges you face in the making of a good software product and deliverables.
