• (Optional) Build a minimal React + TypeScript frontend with Redux Toolkit for demo purposes.


• Ensure clean, modular code structure and maintainability.


• Document architecture, setup instructions, and improvement areas in a README.

• Backend: Python, FastAPI, WebSockets, REST API design.


• Frontend: React, TypeScript, Redux Toolkit (basic implementation acceptable).


• Familiarity with real-time communication protocols.
