π¬ Potential Interview Questions
-
How do you architect scalable and maintainable React applications?
I structure the app into modular, reusable components, use state management libraries like Redux or Zustand for predictable state, apply code splitting and lazy loading for performance, and enforce consistent coding standards through linting and peer reviews. -
What advantages does Next.js provide for React applications?
Next.js offers server-side rendering, static site generation, and API routes, which improve SEO, initial load performance, and enable full-stack capabilities within a React framework. -
How do you ensure accessibility (WCAG) compliance in your projects?
By using semantic HTML, ARIA attributes, keyboard navigability, color contrast checks, and testing with screen readers and accessibility tools to ensure inclusive user experiences. -
Describe your approach to integrating RESTful APIs or GraphQL with React.
I utilize hooks likeuseEffect
and libraries such as React Query or Apollo Client to fetch and cache data, handle loading and error states gracefully, and keep UI in sync with backend efficiently. -
How do you implement state management in React applications?
Depending on complexity, I use Context API for simple cases, Redux or Zustand for more complex global state, and local component state where appropriate, always aiming to minimize unnecessary re-renders. -
What CI/CD practices have you implemented in your projects?
Automated testing with Jest and React Testing Library, linting, build and deployment pipelines using GitHub Actions or Jenkins, and staging environments for QA before production release. -
How do you handle performance optimization in React and Next.js?
By using memoization techniques, optimizing bundle size with code splitting, server-side rendering or static generation with Next.js, and monitoring performance with tools like Lighthouse or Sentry. -
Explain your experience mentoring junior developers.
I provide code reviews with constructive feedback, share best practices, organize knowledge-sharing sessions, and encourage pair programming to foster skill growth. -
How do you work effectively in Agile/Scrum teams?
By participating actively in sprint planning, daily stand-ups, retrospectives, maintaining clear communication, and delivering incremental, tested features aligned with business goals. -
What tools do you use for collaboration and project management?
I use Jira for task tracking, Slack for communication, Notion for documentation, and GitHub for version control and code reviews, ensuring transparency and smooth teamwork.
