1. Tell me why you will be a good fit for the position. 

Why do you want to work for X?

What are you looking for next role?

2. What is one unpopular opinion you have that you are willing to wholehearted defend and why? 

SCAVENGE AR PRODUCT

Striving for perfection in every project slows progress. This was less detrimental in Anim VFX where we are allowed to scrutinize pixels, but for interactive experiences you need to have rapid iteration and real-wrold feedback to change the product roadmap to. In Scavenge AR:

• Unclear AR Scanning Process, So implemented photography game mechanic and proper UX 
• Lack of AR Onboarding: So added AR Tutorial
• Data Loss, so added cloud backend 

Results: Increases satistacation of game, 1000s of users,
