[ ] Know your project (Events Startup Project) inside out. Be ready to explain why you made every technical decision, what trade-offs you considered, and what limitations your project still has. Structure your presentation into four parts: a quick overview of the problem you solved, a live demo showing 2-3 key features, a technical deep dive on one interesting challenge, and your key learnings. Practice your demo at least three times, have a backup (screenshots or video), and prepare answers for common questions like "What was the hardest bug?" or "How would you scale this?"

A technical interview serves as a practical evaluation of a candidate’s problem-solving abilities, coding skills, and technical understanding relevant to the role. It allows interviewers to assess how candidates approach challenges, structure their thinking, and apply core concepts in real-time. Beyond arriving at a correct solution, this stage emphasizes clarity of communication, logical reasoning, and the ability to collaborate through problems. This process helps identify candidates who can effectively translate their knowledge into practice while demonstrating the technical competence required for the role.
