# Problem Solving Approach

I generally approach difficult problems by breaking them into smaller, manageable pieces.

Understand the actual problem and identify what is expected.

Identify the prerequisites and concepts I need to understand.

Explore possible approaches and their trade‑offs.

Implement the simplest reasonable solution.

Test edge cases and identify weaknesses.

Optimize once the basic solution works.

I particularly enjoy problems where multiple technologies need to work together.

I also believe that getting stuck is part of engineering.

I treat getting stuck as a diagnostic opportunity rather than immediately searching for a ready‑made solution.
