Preparing for frontend system design interviews and not sure how to structure your answer?
In this video, I apply the CCDAO framework to a common interview problem: designing a board application (think Trello or Jira).
Instead of jumping straight into code, we focus on how to think — how to break the problem down, reason about trade-offs, and communicate a clear design under interview constraints.
🧠 In this episode, you’ll see how CCDAO helps you:
Collect and clarify requirements before designing
Break the board into clear UI components and interactions
Model data for columns, cards, and ordering
Design APIs that support real-world use cases
Think about scalability, performance, and future extensions
The walkthrough mirrors real interview thinking, using hand-drawn visuals and concrete examples — no boilerplate answers, no copy-paste solutions.
