Important: Please do not use AI tools (Claude Code, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or any other AI coding assistant) for this task. I want to see your own coding skills and problem-solving ability. Using AI will disqualify your application. After reviewing your solution, I will continue to direct hiring.
