I am contacting you in regard to the Divvi Up software engineering position. I put considerable
importance on privacy and security both in my personal life, as well as in the industry. I believe
in the work Divvi Up (and ISRG at large) is doing, 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
finding elegant solutions to complex problems. 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, Python, and C\#.

I love to explore and learn about new things and a majority of my free time is spend doing so.
Through my hobbies, I have developed a diverse knowledge base and wide skill set, including a
strong understanding of DevOps, containerization, and IoT, to name a few. I believe this, along
with my proficiency for engineering, understanding of Rust, and passion for producing reliable and
maintainable code, could provide unique qualifications for this opportunity, and I look forward to
discussing it further.
