-*** TODO Give Feedback on Roopa
+*** DONE Give Feedback on Roopa
+
+Roopas didn't seem like the strongest candidate to me.
+
+During the short-form questions, she understood conceptually the JWT
+and authentication vs authorization. She hasn't worked with K8s. With
+a little guidance she did seem to understand what a container was. At
+first the explanation was a "virtualenv".
+
+My read on the answers were that the information she communicated was
+decent surface level knowledge but when drilling down a bit further,
+the understanding broke down quickly.
+
+With respect to the long-form questions, she did much better.  I liked
+her answers for how she had improved the microservices in her previous
+job. She had implemented a caching layer to keep data local within
+their services as opposed to always hitting Salesforce. I would say
+that her process for identitifying the issue was a bit lacking, but
+she did provide results, so it worked out. The strategy to diagnose
+the problem was more of seeing errors in logs and then looking at the
+fix, but given that they didn't have much in terms of o11y, I think
+that's the best she could have done.
+
+She hadn't really known what we did, and wasn't able to make it very
+far in guessing how provisioning would work. Given that she hasn't
+worked in the space, I would expect her to think about what could
+possibly go into this, but she didn't get far without Sarah leading
+her through it.
+
+Overall, I think that she's not fit for the senior position.
