1. Previous company's small case study was shared with me as a case study and I was asked to describe approaches I would take (from engineering and ML viewpoints) to tackle this problem in high-level? 2. This was followed by a series of questions about the ML models, deep learning, deployments, MLOps, and ML in production.
