- EngelhartMediumSoftware EngineerExposing a Python Function as a REST Endpoint with FastAPI and Unit Testing It
An interview question on exposing a Python function as a REST API endpoint and testing it. It asks whether FastAPI counts as an endpoint, how an endpoint maps an HTTP request onto a function, and how you unit test such code, with a concrete example that covers edge cases and replaced dependencies.
Software Engineering FundamentalsTechnical Screen - EngelhartMediumSoftware EngineerPython Abstract Classes and Instance, Class and Static Methods
A Python object-oriented programming interview question on abstract classes and method kinds. It asks what an abstract class is and whether it can be instantiated, how instance, class and static methods differ, what self and cls refer to, and why a static method would live inside a class at all.

A Python fundamentals interview question on how dictionaries store and look up values: what gets hashed, whether different keys can share a hash, how collisions are resolved and why average lookup is constant time. It also tests whether a list can serve as a key and which objects are allowed as keys.
Software Engineering FundamentalsTechnical Screen - EngelhartMediumSoftware EngineerPython Generators, yield, Lazy Evaluation and How Decorators Work
A Python interview question on generators and decorators. It asks what a generator is, what yield does, why generators use less memory and what lazy evaluation means, then what a decorator actually does under the hood, testing precise language mechanics rather than memorized definitions.

This set evaluates interpersonal and behavioral competencies—communication, self-reflection, stress management, and the ability to translate technical ideas—within the Behavioral & Leadership domain for a Software Engineer role.
Behavioral & LeadershipOnline Assessment - EvenUpMediumData ScientistBuild a model to predict wine quality
This question evaluates predictive modeling and data-science competencies—exploratory data analysis, feature assessment, problem framing (regression vs classification vs ordinal), model selection and validation, evaluation metric choice, and post-model feature-importance interpretation—in the Machine Learning domain, combining conceptual understanding with practical application. It is commonly asked in technical interviews for Data Scientist roles because it tests end-to-end modeling judgment, reasoning about data distributions and variable usefulness, selection of validation and evaluation strategies, and awareness of pitfalls such as collinearity and data leakage.
