-QUESTIONS TO EXPLORE:
+Quick questions:
+  • etcd consensus issue at homelab?
+  • Terraform drift detection?
+  • Graph-RAG vs semantic search?
+  • 2hr→20min deploy root cause?
+  • How'd you reduce cloud costs 40%?
+  • vLLM bottleneck & fix?
+  • Temporal workflow orchestration?
+  • ArgoCD vs Terraform split?
 
-Homelab & Infrastructure
-• Did you build Kubernetes from scratch? How hard?
-• What's this etcd consensus issue you hit?
-• How does Talos Linux compare to kubeadm?
-• ArgoCD vs pure Terraform—when to use each?
+Kubectl examples:
+  ! kubectl get pods -A
+  ! kubectl get nodes
+  ! kubectl top pods
+  ! kubectl logs -f deployment/poimen-mem -n portfolio
 
-Distributed Systems & State Machines
-• Did you use Temporal before? What problems did it solve?
-• Multi-region deployment at AWS—how did you handle consistency?
-• How do you detect and fix Terraform drift at scale?
-• GraphQL federation with microservices—experience?
-
-LLM & AI Systems
-• How does Graph-RAG work? Why not just semantic search?
-• vLLM optimization—what bottleneck did you hit?
-• Natural language → executable workflow—how?
-• OIDC + hierarchical RBAC for multi-tenant knowledge graphs?
-
-Operations & Career
-• 2hr→20min deploy at RBC—what was the root cause?
-• How did you reduce cloud costs 40% across teams?
-• Lessons from on-call at AWS Step Functions?
-• What's your take on IaC tooling—Terraform, Pulumi, CDK?
