I'm Chandan, a computer science student and one of the people behind Mindfries.
I've always been fascinated by AI, engineering, and building products that solve real problems. Over time, one problem that kept catching my attention was technical hiring.
We spend so much time preparing engineers for coding interviews, but do traditional interviews really tell us how well someone can build software?
We've been working on something that we've wanted to see in technical hiring for a long time.
Traditional technical interviews often focus heavily on LeetCode-style problems. But solving algorithmic questions under time pressure doesn't necessarily demonstrate how someone performs as an actual software engineer.
Mindfries ranks engineers on real work — GitHub, portfolios, live code — then runs an adaptive assessment on a real codebase. A ranked shortlist with a plain-English reason for every name. You decide.
