About Yourself

• Tell me about yourself. Hello, my name is Deepanshu Tomar, and I am a passionate Full Stack
Web Developer with a strong foundation in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, and Firebase.
Currently pursuing a Bachelor of Technology in Information Technology at Bundelkhand
Institute of Engineering and Technology, I have gained hands-on experience through
internships and projects, particularly in web application development and API integration.

• During my training at IIT Kanpur, I developed and optimized various web applications,
collaborating with teams to enhance user experiences through responsive design and
scalable software solutions. My recent internship at ElectrIK Bee involved developing the
Solarfix Smart IT Platform, where I focused on integrating APIs and utilizing Big Data
technology for effective data analysis.

• I have completed several projects, including a weather app, an e-commerce website, and a
real estate platform, each demonstrating my ability to solve problems and improve
performance. With a strong analytical mindset and a commitment to teamwork, I am eager
to contribute my skills to innovative projects in a dynamic environment.

• What are your strengths and weaknesses? "My strength lies in my problem-solving skills,
which I've honed through competitive programming and my ability to quickly grasp new
technologies. I am also a team player and have worked on various collaborative projects,
which has improved my teamwork and leadership abilities. One weakness I’m working on is
sometimes spending too much time perfecting small details in a project, but I’m learning to
balance that with meeting deadlines."

2. Career Goals

• Where do you see yourself in 5 years? "In five years, I see myself as a senior web developer,
working on innovative projects and contributing to cutting-edge technologies. I aim to
continuously improve my skills in full-stack development and explore emerging areas like AI
integration in web applications."

• Why do you want to work for this company? "I am excited about your company's innovative
approach and the opportunity to work on dynamic projects. The work culture here seems
focused on both learning and contributing, which aligns perfectly with my goals. I believe I
can contribute effectively while also growing as a developer."

• Why are you interested in this role? "This role offers the chance to work on challenging
projects using technologies I’m familiar with, such as React, Firebase, and backend
development. I also look forward to expanding my skill set in a dynamic environment that
emphasizes growth and collaboration."

3. Work Experience and Skills

• Tell me about a project you are proud of. "One project I am proud of is the E-commerce
website I built using React. I implemented user authentication and integrated payment
gateways, which enhanced the overall user experience and improved the website's
performance. This project taught me a lot about building secure, scalable web applications."
 • What was the most challenging project you've worked on? "The Solarfix project at ElectrIK
Bee was challenging because it required integrating multiple APIs, handling large amounts of
data, and implementing a WhatsApp-based monitoring system. The complexity of the project
taught me how to work with different technologies and think critically about optimizing
performance."

• Describe a time when you had to work in a team. "During my IIT Kanpur internship, I
collaborated with a team to develop web applications. We often had to coordinate on API
integration and ensure that all components worked seamlessly together. This experience
helped me understand the importance of communication and teamwork in delivering a
successful project."

4. Adaptability and Problem Solving

• Tell me about a time when you faced a challenge and how you overcame it. "While working
on the Real Estate Website project, integrating the Google Maps API was a challenge due to
performance issues. I optimized the API calls and implemented caching techniques, which
significantly reduced loading time and improved the user experience."

• How do you prioritize tasks when you have multiple deadlines? "I use tools like Trello or
simple to-do lists to prioritize tasks based on deadlines and importance. For example, during
my internships, I often juggled multiple projects and would break down tasks into smaller
parts, focusing on high-priority items while maintaining progress on longer-term tasks."

5. Leadership and Initiative

• Describe a situation where you showed leadership. "During my Web Development Training
at IIT Kanpur, I took the initiative to lead a team of interns in integrating an API for one of the
web applications. I made sure everyone understood their responsibilities and coordinated
their efforts to complete the task ahead of schedule."

• Tell me about a time you took initiative on a project. "In the Solarfix project, I noticed that
our current approach to monitoring solar power plant data was inefficient. I suggested using
Big Data technologies to handle large datasets more effectively and took the initiative to
implement the change, which significantly improved the system’s performance."

6. Conflict Resolution

• Describe a time when you had a conflict with a coworker. How did you resolve it? "During
my internship, there was a disagreement between team members regarding the
implementation of a particular feature. I facilitated a discussion to ensure everyone’s
perspective was heard and proposed a solution that incorporated the best ideas from both
sides. This helped resolve the conflict and allowed the project to move forward smoothly."

• How do you handle feedback and criticism? "I welcome feedback as it’s essential for growth.
During my internship, I received feedback about improving my code readability. I took the
advice seriously, started following coding standards more strictly, and made my code cleaner
and easier for others to understand."
7. Company Culture and Fit
