I am contacting you in regard to the Software Engineer position. I am excited by the work you are
doing and would love to discuss the opportunity of being a part of it.
-As a generational engineer, I have been engaged in engineering the majority of my life, both as a
-hobby, as well as professionally. 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
