I am contacting you in regard to the Software Engineer CTJ --- Poly position. I am well aware of
the work being done at Microsoft and would love to discuss the opportunity to be 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 high standards for quality solutions that focus on simplicity, efficiency,
and correctness. While I have an affinity for Rust, I have experience with many other languages
such as C, C\#, Python, and Go.

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, networking, and containerization, to name a few. I
believe this, along with my proficiency for engineering, understanding of the relevent languages,
and passion for writing efficient and correct code, could provide unique qualifications for this
opportunity, and I look forward to discussing it further.
