San Jose, CAPosted Apr 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I had an interview conversation where the interviewer really dug into my resume and past work.

I walked through prior projects in detail, including what my technical role was and what specific contributions I made.

After that discussion, I moved straight into a medium-level coding task that looked like a LeetCode style problem. It felt like the interview was deliberately tying my background to how I performed when I had to switch into problem-solving mode. I left feeling like I had to be both coherent in storytelling about my work and precise when it came to the actual algorithm problem.
