    Sample interview questions
    How would you structure a scalable native Android application written in Kotlin?

    I would use a modular, layered architecture such as Clean Architecture with MVVM or MVI. I would separate presentation, domain, and data concerns, use dependency injection, define clear interfaces for repositories, and make modules independently testable and maintainable.

    Describe your approach to integrating an Android app with AWS-backed services.

    I start by defining secure API contracts and authentication flows, then implement resilient networking with appropriate retry, timeout, and error-handling behavior. I ensure secrets are not embedded in the app, use environment-specific configuration, and add logging and observability that support safe production troubleshooting.

    How do you build an effective Android CI/CD pipeline?

    I automate linting, unit tests, static analysis, build generation, and instrumentation tests where practical. The pipeline should produce signed artifacts for each environment, enforce quality gates before release, manage versioning consistently, and provide fast feedback to developers.

    How would you investigate a crash that happens only in production?

    I would first review crash reports, device and OS distributions, breadcrumbs, and recent release changes to identify patterns. I would reproduce the issue if possible, validate backend or API dependencies, implement a targeted fix with regression coverage, and monitor the release after deployment.

    How do you communicate technical trade-offs to a non-mobile client stakeholder?

    I explain the decision in terms of user impact, delivery time, reliability, cost, and long-term maintenance rather than implementation details alone. I present viable options, state risks and assumptions clearly, recommend an approach, and confirm the stakeholder's priorities before proceeding.
