Phase 1 focuses on building the foundation of the platform.
This milestone includes the development of the core UI/UX along with the initial frontend and backend integration.

Key objectives:

• Design and implement the main user interface
• Build the core frontend structure using React
• Develop basic backend APIs for authentication and profile management
• Implement user registration and login system
• Create the user profile page with editable fields
• Integrate profile image upload functionality
• Add coding profile links (GitHub, LeetCode, Codeforces, etc.)
• Implement sidebar navigation and dashboard layout
• Ensure proper communication between frontend and backend

This phase establishes the core architecture and user experience required for the platform before advanced features such as AI interviews, analytics, and performance tracking are introduced.
