While I have tangible experience in both mechanical and +electrical engineering, I have found software engineering to be an excellent conduit for my love of +building systems. I have a passion and natural affinity for writing code and have high standards +for quality and correctness, which often led to taking on a `lead-by-example' role in the teams I +have worked in. + +My experience has been primarily in Rust, C\#, Python, and Lua. That being said, I love to explore +and learn about new things and spend a majority of my free time doing so. Through my +hobbies and career, I have developed a diverse skill set including knowledge of many languages +as well as a strong understanding of subdomains such as Unix-like systems, networking, and DevOps. + +I hope this, along with my passion and proficiency for engineering and writing efficient and +correct code, could provide unique qualifications for this opportunity and look forward to +discussing it further. + +\makeletterclosing{} + +\end{document} |
