Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I experienced a medium-difficulty process that centered on progressive coding levels, where small implementation issues (debugging/input quirks) prevented me from reaching the top.

Round 1: Execution on crypto/product tasks — One loop started with a crypto order-system style problem requiring parsing input and creating tests; another used previously asked questions.
Round 2: Execution on a second coding task — An NFT generation task required defining/reading structured input (JSON) and then handling debugging/error-handling carefully.
Round 2/3: Level gating — In both experiences, I didn’t reach the highest level because of bugs or incorrect implementation details, even when I got through earlier levels.
