I was approached by a recruiter who reached out to me regarding a potential job opportunity. After an initial phone call to discuss my background and experience, the recruiter scheduled multiple technical interviews. These included a coding session focused on LeetCode-style problems, a separate interview to assess my database problem-solving skills, and a system design session to evaluate my ability to architect scalable solutions.
