       Tell me about a time you made a mistake. How did you communicate that
       mistake?

-      In a previous project, I had the opportunity to build a custom in-app
-      notification system to replace an existing SaaS solution. We needed to
-      decide on the technical stack and approach to integrate business logic and
-      tooling effectively.
+      #### Situation:
 
 
-      Without conducting deep research or strategic evaluation, I proposed using
-      ActivityPub for message transfer and InversifyJS for dependency injection,
-      assuming they would be a good fit. However, as development progressed, we
-      encountered significant challenges.
+      In a previous project, we needed to replace a third-party SaaS
+      notification system with an in-house solution. I proposed using
+      ActivityPub for message transfer and InversifyJS for dependency injection.
 
 
-      * ActivityPub was overly complex for our use case, making implementation
-      difficult.
+      #### Task:
 
-      * InversifyJS had an unfriendly developer experience, which slowed down
-      our progress.
 
+      My role was to design the system architecture and ensure smooth
+      implementation. However, I made the mistake of not validating the
+      complexity and feasibility of these technologies before committing.
 
-      As a result, our team of four developers spent two weeks solely on backend
-      configuration, barely managing to get a working prototype—with no frontend
-      demo ready by the deadline. We realized these technology choices were a
-      mistake only after development was well underway.
 
+      #### Action:
 
-      When we missed the development timeline, I acknowledged my mistake during
-      the retrospective meeting. I took full responsibility, apologized to the
-      team, and committed to refactoring the complex codebase in the future.
-      However, before we got the chance to revisit it, the business requirements
-      changed, and the project was ultimately deprecated.
 
+      Once development started, we faced unexpected challenges—ActivityPub was
+      overkill for our use case, and InversifyJS added unnecessary complexity.
+      After two weeks of backend work, we still had no frontend demo ready.
+      Realizing the issue, I acknowledged my mistake during the sprint
+      retrospective, apologized to the team, and proposed alternative solutions.
 
-      This experience taught me the importance of validating technical decisions
-      upfront. Had I conducted a proof of concept (PoC) or gathered more
-      feedback before committing, we could have avoided wasted effort and
-      delays.
 
+      #### Result:
 
-      Now, before introducing new technologies into a project, I thoroughly
-      evaluate feasibility, conduct PoCs, and seek input from colleagues to
-      ensure alignment with the project’s needs.
+
+      Although we missed our initial timeline, we learned from the mistake and
+      avoided making similar choices in future projects. This experience taught
+      me to validate technical decisions with PoCs before full adoption,
+      ensuring they align with project needs.
