Process

The interview consisted of several stages. First, the interviewer asked questions about my resume, including past projects, technical skills, and previous work experience. Then I solved a few medium-level LeetCode-style coding problems that focused on data structures and algorithms. I was also given troubleshooting scenarios to test my debugging and problem-solving skills, where I had to explain how I would identify and fix technical issues step by step. The interviewer also asked follow-up questions about my approach and reasoning.
