1. Initial Screening
A brief discussion with a recruiter or technical screener.
Covered my background, experience, and suitability for the role.
Basic questions around cloud platforms, DevOps tools, and CI/CD practices.

3. Technical Interview / Review (Expected)
A deeper discussion around the submitted architecture:
Design decisions and trade-offs
Services selected (e.g., RDS vs DynamoDB, CloudFront vs alternatives)
