Sample interview questions
I begin with clear component APIs, semantic markup, accessibility requirements, and documented states. I validate components with consumers early, add unit and interaction tests, and publish examples in Storybook so teams can adopt them consistently.
I would use native semantic controls wherever possible, associate labels and errors programmatically, maintain predictable keyboard behavior, and test focus management. I would also combine automated checks with manual keyboard and screen-reader testing before release.
I review the design for reusable patterns, responsive behavior, content states, and accessibility gaps before implementation. I then map the design to existing system components where possible, build missing primitives carefully, and verify the result with designers and tests.
I use AI tools to accelerate routine drafting, exploration, and test scaffolding, but I retain ownership of architecture, security, accessibility, and correctness. Every generated change is reviewed, tested, and validated against project conventions before it is merged.
I first reproduce the issue and clarify its impact, expected behavior, and affected versions. I assess whether the solution belongs in the shared component, implement a tested fix with release notes or migration guidance if needed, and communicate the outcome to impacted teams.
