About the Author: Design Gurus

Design Gurus thumbnail

Design Gurus (designgurus.io) is the technical-interview-preparation platform founded by Arslan Ahmad, a former engineer at Facebook, Microsoft, and Hulu. The platform is best known for the Grokking the System Design Interview course — one of the most widely-used resources for the system-design portion of senior engineering interviews — alongside a deep catalog of coding-interview, behavioural, and ML / data-system design preparation material.

The Design Gurus approach is pattern-based: rather than memorising specific problems, the courses teach the recurring patterns (sliding window, two pointers, monolithic architecture, sharding strategies) that recur across interview question categories. The result is preparation that scales — engineers who study the patterns can solve problems they've never seen before, which is closer to what interviewers are actually testing for.

The CourseFlix listing under this source carries over 30 Design Gurus courses spanning coding interviews, system design, machine-learning system design, mobile system design, behavioural interviews, and the senior-level material aimed at staff-and-above engineering positions. Material is paid and aimed at engineers preparing for technical interviews at large tech companies.
