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, which often led to taking on a `lead-by-example' role in the teams I have worked in. I love to explore and learn about new things and a majority of my free time is spend doing so. Through my hobbies and career, I have developed a diverse knowledge base and wide skill set, including a strong understanding of DevOps, containerization, and Unix systems, to name a few. I hope this, along with my proficiency for engineering and passion for writing efficient and correct code, could provide unique qualifications for this opportunity, and look forward to discussing it further. \makeletterclosing{} \end{document}
