Interview
During my recent interview, I was asked about my experience with Linux server administration and multiboot systems. The technical questions covered web application deployment, UEFI vs. legacy boot, and database management. I demonstrated my skills, solved coding problems, and discussed my ongoing project for a conference management system.

Interview
First round started with an array question and was asked to code up the brute force solution. Then, the interviewer asked me to optimize it. The interviewer was helpful throughout.

Awaiting next steps.
