Motivation

Technical interview preparation often lacks integration between coding proficiency and communication skills. Interview Buddy aims to address this gap by providing candidates with a platform to improve their coding skills and communication clarity.

Objectives

Interview Buddy's objectives include:

• Offering diverse coding scenarios
• Providing real-time feedback
• Enhancing speech clarity and coherence
• Conducting performance evaluation

Existing Systems

Existing platforms like LeetCode Interviews and Google's Interview Warm-Up offer coding challenges but lack speech analysis and personalized guidance.

Literature Survey

Research literature such as "Enhancing Coding Interview Practice with Real-Time Feedback Systems" and "Towards Automated Coding Interview Feedback with Natural Language Processing" inspired the development of Interview Buddy.

Proposed System Design

The system design includes modules for user profile creation, audio analysis, interactive interview preparation, live coding environment, database management, scoring and evaluation, and personalized guidance.

Implementation

Interview Buddy is implemented using the following tech stack:

• Frontend: Next.js with lexical analysis
• Backend: FastAPI with Llama/Gemini for audio analysis
• Data Storage: PostgreSQL for database management
• Cache & Session Management: Redis
• Other components: LangChain for resume analysis and NLP, Coqui AI TTS for audio feedback

Results

Key features of Interview Buddy include personalized interview preparation, live coding environment, scoring-based feedback system, real-time audio analysis, instant syntax checking, and tailored coding challenges.

Impact / Results

The platform fosters continuous learning, encourages skill development, provides equal access to preparation resources, offers personalized support, and supports inclusive growth in the tech industry.
