At UC Santa Cruz I had Gerhard Ringel[1] as a professor for graph theory, talked with him outside of class otherwise. Spent a lot of time going through his book.

Some concepts I’ve used but to be asked random leet code graph questions, meh. The current interview paradigm needs to change. It’d be fine to be told - it’ll cover x and y a couple of days before but not drop into a random problem. That is not our industry.

Gerhard was an amazing teacher and taught me a lot. Sadly I’ve had to use it little.
