%      OPENING SECTION
%=============================
OCAS’s dedication to reinventing higher education and creating pathways for learners resonates with my background as both a Computer Engineer and a computer science educator.
As a dual graduate of the University of Guelph, I have a deep appreciation for the impact OCAS has on the Ontario college system.
I am eager to apply my expertise in full-stack development, software optimization, and modern DevOps to the \position{} role, supporting the technology that helps hundreds of thousands of individuals pursue a brighter future.

%       MAIN BODY SECTION
%=============================
\vspace{1em}
\noindent My technical background aligns directly with the requirements for building robust, scalable software solutions at OCAS:

\begin{itemize}[leftmargin=1.5em, labelsep=0.5em]
	\item \textbf{Full-Stack Versatility:} I have architected multi-technology stacks combining Node.js, React, and Vue to enable real-time control and interactive user interfaces.
	\item \textbf{Software Optimization:} I developed high-efficiency pipelines using transformer models that achieved a 30x reduction in bandwidth usage and a 29\% lower latency, demonstrating my ability to tackle complex optimization challenges.
	\item \textbf{DevOps \& Infrastructure:} I have extensive experience with containerization using Docker and automating AWS infrastructure with Terraform and Jenkins, reducing manual deployment steps by 80\%.
	\item \textbf{Data Management:} I am proficient in managing diverse database systems, including PostgreSQL and SQLite, and I am prepared to leverage my strong SQL foundation within your .NET and MS SQL environment.
\end{itemize}

\vspace{1em}
I understand the vital role that dependable technology plays in the learning journey.
Whether it is decomposing complex project tasks or collaborating with architects to solve performance blockers, I am committed to delivering high-quality, efficient code that serves the OCAS mission.

%=============================
%        CLOSING SECTION
%=============================
\vspace{1em}
\noindent I am confident that my blend of research-driven innovation and hands-on software engineering will allow me to contribute immediately to the OCAS team.
I look forward to the possibility of discussing how my experience with optimization and full-stack development can support your upcoming project developments.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
