    Agenda (90 min):


[2:00, 5min] 1) Introductions


[2:05, 30min] 2) Can you give us an example of a “technical vision” or roadmap that you’ve rolled out previously. Can you whiteboard that vision to us?
looking for clarity of vision and technical communication


[2:35, 10min] 3) A very short-code review (see code-review.ts below)


[2:45, 30min] 4) AuthN/Z and Coordination in Distributed systems
looking for distributed systems and security knowledge plus a plan for progressive remediation


[3:15, 10min] 5) Your questions for us


Extra if time: 6) Can you give us an example of when you’ve helped a team get unstuck or radically change their perspectives and approach to solving a technical problem?
