Screening Questions & Architecture Insights
Review Kaushal's verified answers to common senior cloud architecture screening questions before you interview.
I integrate Microsoft Semantic Kernel within .NET Core Web APIs to orchestrate AI agents, skills, and memory stores. For domain-specific query interpretation, I build Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines that vectorize documentation into Azure Cosmos DB or Neo4j knowledge graphs. When a query arrives, semantic search and custom reranking algorithms retrieve the most relevant context, minimizing token consumption while maximizing answer precision. Prompts are templatized with strict schema outputs, and memory persistence is handled via Redis caching.
