+%      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. \\
