I discussed my thought process aloud and started coding in a shared editor. The interviewer occasionally interjected with clarifying questions. After implementing a basic solution, we discussed edge cases and performance optimizations. Following the technical assessment, I was asked about my previous project experiences and how I handled challenges in teamwork and deadlines.
