Prepare for interviews
I did a System Design with Rajya. He was exactly what I needed to open my eyes. I was about to appear for a FAANG interview and the session with Rajya was a reality check. He exposed many issues and gave me a very constructive feedback at the end. His experience and knowledge in Systems Design is immense and to find a very specific issue in my design (vs very generic feedback given to all) was very helpful. I highly recommend him.
