Walk through one project you worked on in depth. Explain the business problem, your specific role, the technical approach, the main trade-offs, and how the project was launched. Then answer follow-up questions such as:
- What lessons did you learn from this project?
- What would you do differently if you could do it again?
- Which business metrics did you track after launch, and how did you evaluate whether the project was successful?
