Curated interview resource drop
Veteran engineer Fernando posted a 16-link deep dive of algorithm and system-design articles, paired with a concise LeetCode pattern list and a free 300+ Q&A GitHub repo for AI/ML interviews—one neat bundle for targeted prep. These three community threads cover core patterns, system-design depth, and applied AI interview topics in one place ( ).
Franco Fernando’s Substack shows a weekly newsletter audience of about 37,000 subscribers and a recent post focused on algorithmic foundations and system design notes. (substack.com) Franco’s personal site and GitHub identify him as a Ph.D. holder and list his role as a Senior Software Engineer at Siemens Healthineers, with a public portfolio of algorithm and distributed-systems content. (francofernando.com) Franco’s thread collection calls out concrete technical write-ups such as a piece titled “How depth-first search shines on directed graphs: topological sorting,” signaling the list ties foundational algorithms to applied interview use-cases. (substack.com) Shruti’s “Top GitHub repositories” thread aggregates curated repo links and mirrors a popular index repository—sachin-source/top-github-repositories-which-everyone-should-look—which lists resources like the System Design Primer and Developer Roadmaps. (en.rattibha.com) Multiple open-source AI/ML interview Q&A repositories exist on GitHub that the thread pool references, including a machine-learning-interviews guide that compiles company-specific ML interview modules and notes from candidates who received FAANG offers. (github.com) Public pattern collections used alongside those threads include the community LeetCode Patterns project (seanprashad/leetcode-patterns) with over 11,000 stars and a LeetCode Discuss guide grouping 130 problems into 14 common patterns, showing the ecosystem those concise pattern lists plug into. (github.com) The Nitin account tied to the pattern post appears active on LeetCode under the handle nitin_ with roughly 650 problems solved and a contest rating around 1,698, and an X-profile visible via external mirrors showing several thousand followers.
