The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Build a plugin-based notification framework using Observer and Abstract Factory that supports adding new channels without modifying core code.
This is not a coding exercise. It is the work a software engineer does between a Jira ticket and a merged PR. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates solve LeetCode problems and none who have shipped production code under real constraints.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Implement Observer with typed subscriptions in modern Java
- Apply Abstract Factory for per-profile channel instantiation
- Design for Open/Closed by registration, not modification
- Build fakes that let tests run without external dependencies
