Kaiburr Technical Skills Assessment 2025 (A College Assessment)

The Kaiburr Assessment 2025 is a technical evaluation designed to assess a candidate's hands-on skills across backend development, DevOps, frontend engineering, and data science. It consists of five core tasks. The first task requires building a Java-based backend that exposes REST APIs to manage and execute "task" objects stored in MongoDB, with proper validation and execution tracking. The second task involves containerizing this backend and deploying it on Kubernetes, ensuring MongoDB runs in a separate pod with persistent storage, and modifying the application to execute shell commands inside Kubernetes pods. The third task focuses on creating an intuitive web interface using React 19 with TypeScript and Ant Design, allowing users to interact with the backend seamlessly. The fourth task asks candidates to build a CI/CD pipeline using tools like GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or Azure DevOps, incorporating source code compilation and Docker image builds. Lastly, the fifth task is a data science challenge involving text classification on a real-world consumer complaint dataset, requiring candidates to perform data preprocessing, model selection, evaluation, and prediction. Submissions must include properly structured GitHub repositories, detailed README files, and verified screenshots with the candidate’s name and timestamp.
