Distributed systems expertise
Scalability Patterns
Horizontal scaling, consistent hashing, sharding, read replicas, CQRS
Storage & Caching
SQL vs NoSQL trade-offs, Redis, CDN layers, write-through vs write-behind
Messaging & APIs
Kafka, RabbitMQ, REST vs gRPC vs GraphQL, rate limiting, API gateways
Reliability
Circuit breakers, bulkheads, retries with exponential backoff, chaos engineering
Max subarray sum, longest substring without repeats, minimum window substring — O(n) solutions replacing O(n²).
3Sum, trapping rain water, container with most water — collapses a nested loop into a single linear pass.
Graph traversal, island counting, word ladder, shortest path in unweighted graphs — the backbone of tree/graph problems.
Knapsack, longest common subsequence, coin change, edit distance — memoisation and tabulation from scratch.
Search in rotated arrays, kth smallest element, capacity problems — apply on answer space, not just sorted arrays.
Permutations, subsets, N-Queens, sudoku solver — prune early, build incrementally, never over-allocate state.
Number of connected components, redundant connection, accounts merge — path compression + union by rank for near-O(1).
Next greater element, largest rectangle in histogram, daily temperatures — O(n) solutions via invariant maintenance.
