Cultural Fit Analysis

The candidate's personal projects primarily focus on C++ and data structures/algorithms (compression, parsing). While these are foundational for a Backend Engineer, the lack of diverse project types (e.g., web services, databases, distributed systems) and team-based experience limits the assessment of cultural fit for a collaborative engineering environment. The target role 'Backend Engineer' is broad, and the current projects align with core programming but not necessarily modern backend system development.
