Process

I was contacted by a recruiter and invited to a one-on-one interview.

The interview took place at my university.

The interviewer asked me about my projects, as I have quite a few of them. He then proceeded to ask a few basic data structures and algorithms questions as a warm-up, before presenting me with two coding questions about algorithms.
