Interview Process
The interview consisted of a deep dive session where I was asked to design a project using Excalidraw. During this session, I was questioned about trade-offs and conflicts related to the design. The system design portion involved creating a photo upload system where users could request photos for their products on Shopify. Photographers would receive these requests, take the photos, and send them back to the users. Users had the option to select which photos they wanted and could request re-shoots for any they did not want. While writing the API specifications, the interviewer expressed concerns about my naming conventions, but I was advised not to make any changes.
