+System Design Exercise with Oliver Huang ( https://www.linkedin.com/in/obh/ )
+
+Here, Oliver will share a system design challenge with you.
+
+Together, you'll come up with a solution that suits the prompt's requirements. You will not be asked to code. This is intended to be a collaborative session, so don't hesitate to ask questions, including validating assumptions and asking for additional perspectives.
+
+If helpful to you, feel free to use any note-taking/ drafting tool to help mockup/ keep track of your design choices. Once again, some of our favorite whiteboarding tools are https://excalidraw.com/ and https://app.diagrams.net/, but you are welcome to use whatever you prefer.
