%=============================
% OPENING SECTION
%=============================
I am writing to express my interest in the \position{} role at \companyName.
I am a recent graduate in Computer Engineering with a background in backend development, cloud deployment, and machine learning systems.
I have built and deployed full-stack applications and production-level services using Python, Docker, Flask, and CI/CD pipelines, and have experience working in both academic and team-based engineering environments.
I’m eager to contribute my skills and energy to a team committed to technical excellence and innovation.
%=============================
% MAIN BODY SECTION
%=============================
\vspace{1em}
\noindent My technical experience includes training ML models, deploying microservices, and integrating code into automated testing workflows. I’ve developed a heart disease prediction app using Flask and scikit-learn, engineered full-stack projects with React and Java, and maintained a Docker-based homelab environment running CI/CD and container orchestration. Other projects include memory allocation simulators in C, car classification using CNNs, reinforcement-based dynamic noise cancellation, and an accessibility-focused Braille converter powered by Raspberry Pi.
\vspace{1em}
In addition to my programming work, I bring strong written communication skills and attention to detail. Whether writing technical documentation, explaining model decisions, or debugging tricky outputs, I enjoy breaking down complex problems and analyzing code quality. I am confident in evaluating code for correctness, performance, and clarity. I look forward to helping shape models that do the same.
%=============================
% CLOSING SECTION
%=============================
\vspace{1em}
\noindent I am confident that my hands-on experience, collaborative mindset, and drive for technical excellence make me a strong fit for the \position{} role at \companyName. I am available for an interview at your convenience and would appreciate the opportunity to further discuss how I can contribute to your team. Please feel free to reach out to me at \email{} or by phone at \phone. Thank you for your time and consideration.

\indent My experience in software engineering at the University of Guelph has honed my skills in writing high-performance, scalable code in C and other languages.
I have been deeply involved in the development of real-time processing systems, where I implemented multithreaded C++ and Python modules for robotic applications and utilized C to deploy ML models enhanced with hardware-acceleration on Xilinx SoCs.
These experiences have given me a solid foundation in writing efficient, maintainable code and a deep understanding of the importance of system reliability.\\
At the Robotics Institute, I contributed to the development and deployment of a Node.js and PostgresDB backend system on AWS EC2 for an accessibility application, which was part of a research conducted at the institute.
This system featured a frontend interface that retrieved data from the PostgresDB, enabling real-time visualization and analysis of user activity.
In addition to developing the system, I also maintained the frontend application, ensuring that dependencies were regularly updated to keep the system secure and functional.
By facilitating seamless communication with users, this setup ensured that feedback was effectively gathered and integrated, resulting in enhanced system usability and functionality. \\
In addition to my technical expertise, I bring a passion for best practices in software development.
I am experienced in conducting comprehensive code reviews, ensuring adherence to coding standards, and employing Test-Driven and Security-Driven Development methodologies.
My commitment to quality is further demonstrated through my hands-on experience in my homelab, where I manage and monitor Dockerized applications, develop and dockerize services, and deploy them using a robust CI/CD pipeline.
This setup streamlines the entire process of building, testing, and deploying applications, ensuring efficiency and reliability in every stage of the software lifecycle. \\
