%=============================
% 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.
Im 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. Ive 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 In my recent role as a Machine Learning Engineer at the University of Guelph, I led end-to-end data acquisition, diagnosis, and analysis to uncover key latency and bandwidth correlations in real-time systems.
This hands-on experience with edge-cloud environments strengthened my ability to design, deploy, and optimize intelligent systems under varying operational conditions.\\
Previously, as a Software Developer on an Assistive Robotic Feeding System built with ROS2, I tackled real-time hardware-software integration challenges.
I also developed a Smart Door system, integrating ESP32 microcontrollers, PIR sensors, and geo-fencing features to provide seamless automation.
In another role as an IT Analyst, I refined my problem-solving and infrastructure skills by reading electrical schematics, configuring Fortinet firewalls, and modernizing legacy network environments.\\
Beyond my formal roles, I am deeply engaged in embedded systems and industrial automation.
I independently designed and built a low-cost, ESP32-based PLC, programming it in Structured Text and Ladder Logic using OpenPLC to support automation safety logic.
In my homelab, I maintain a self-hosted environment where I automate lighting, HVAC, and security systems—deepening my expertise in real-time communication protocols, device interoperability, and fault diagnostics.\\
Throughout my work, Ive leveraged C/C++, Python, Rust, and Java alongside Ladder Logic (PLC) to deliver robust, production-grade systems.
My practical experience with tools like Git, Docker, Terraform, and Jenkins, as well as my attention to functional specifications and documentation, prepares me to contribute meaningfully to \companyName\ industrial automation projects—from system design through commissioning.\\
