I am contacting you in regard to the Developer II position. Growing up in the country, I have always
loved the outdoors and have spent a decent amount of time in camp grounds. Currently, my parents
spend part of the year as `nomads', traveling the country in a converted Van they built. I am
intrigued by the work being done at CampLife 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
Java, Javascript, and Python.

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
believe this, along with my proficiency for engineering, passion for writing efficient and correct
code and love for the outdoors, could provide unique qualifications for this opportunity, and I look
forward to discussing it further.
