SIH2020_MK95_Hashtag VS StandNote

My technical interview was scheduled with John D. Britton, the Founder, and CEO at raise. dev. I was in awe as I looked through his LinkedIn profile, and this got me a lot nervous. The technical interview also spans usually for 10 mins and aims to get an understanding of the technical proficiency and the learning potential of the interviewee. I showcased my Smart India Hackathon project - Awsar, a platform that connects government organizations and potential job seekers under one single domain. I contributed as a backend developer and designed and developed the REST APIs that powered the platform. John asked me a few questions on security and scaling, that I answered as per my understanding. He explained to me the ideal solutions to each of these questions as well and I felt like it was a great interview, even if I don’t get selected, as, after all, I got to learn something new.

Being a former fellow, I skipped the line for the initial interview and just had to give the technical interview. My technical interview was scheduled with Karan Seth, one of the junior pod leaders. This time, I showcased to him StandNote, an online meeting assistant that lets you generate an automatic meeting summary after each meeting. I contributed to the project as a backend developer and was responsible for designing and developing the REST APIs that powered the platform. He was quite impressed with the idea and asked me a few questions regarding the security of the APIs that I answered well. Hence, the interview went well, and I was back in the fellowship for another batch.
